I found Michael very inspiring to listen to, due to his laid and humble demeanor and also from his approach to his team and spirit / ethics. His tips on PR were very good and I enjoyed listening to him overall.

"Michael's transformational leadership skills are clearly evident as he reveals the inside story of the development of one of Australia's household franchise brands from a social enterprise in the 70's to a listed entity today. His strategic business focus resonates with any business owner or manager who understands that good businesses are built with great people and excellent management. Michael delivers a clear message that successful business is about a continuous process of improvement that is purposeful, focused and gets the best out of all involved."

The Brumby's Conference held in Sydney last week was great, Glenda and I really enjoyed it, the social and entertainment events were fun and we learnt a lot both from the conference speakers and the many franchisees and suppliers we met.
This is the fourth conference Glenda and I have attended and each one seems to improve on the previous one.
Congratulations Michael on your achievements as CEO of Brumby’s, the organization has made great strides under your leadership, we are certainly sorry to see you leave and we wish you and Jenny all the very best in your new ventures.
It has been a privilege to work with you and I hope our paths cross sometime in the future.

On behalf of BRW and IBM I would like to thank you very much for your participation in our recent executive roundtable luncheon on multi channel retailing.

On behalf of the Baking Industry Association of New Zealand (BIANZ), thank you for your presentation on the Brumby’s success story at the BIANZ Conference 2007 presented by Weston Milling.
It was our pleasure to host you and we hope you had an enjoyable time speaking to the delegates. We have had some very positive feedback on the speaker series and your presentation, so thank-you for adding some informative content to the Conference.
We wish you all the best for your future speaking engagements and appreciate the time you spent on the BIANZ Conference.

I would like to warmly thank you for giving up your morning to be the Guest Speaker at the Ryan Small Business Networking Breakfast on Friday, 5th May, 2006.
Your contribution as the guest speaker was very deeply appreciated. Your address was informative and insightful and I personally enjoyed learning about the story behind Brumby’s Bakeries success.
We have received very positive feedback from the breakfast and I have no doubt important contacts were established and furthered during the morning. I also hope the experience was beneficial to Brumby’s Bakeries in promoting the company.
Once again, thank you for making our Networking Breakfast such a success. I look forward to catching up with you again soon.

On behalf of the organising committee I wish to thank you for speaking at the recent Australasian Miling Conference. Both the Flour Millers’ Council of Australia and the Stock Feed Manufacturers’ Council of Australia have judged the conference to be a great success, with a great deal of positive feedback relating to the quality of the speakers and their presentations.
Again we thank you for your personal contribution to the conference for all those associated with the Flour Miling and Stock Feed Manufacturing industries.

I wished to express my sincere gratitude for providing your time to present at our recent Strategy Group CEO Symposium. The feedback gathered over the last two weeks has been that the event was an overwhelming success for all involved with both delegates and sponsors commenting that it was one of the most informative they had participated in.
We put this success directly on the calibre of the speakers. You generously gave time to share personal experiences and insights into raising the standards of Australian business and for that we are extremely grateful.
The feedback from the delegate evaluation forms and in speaking with attendee’s during and after the event was that the Brumby’s Bakery session was one of great value, it provided inspiration and idea’s that could be implemented into their own businesses. The style of the presentation was informative and perfect for our CEO audience, with comments that the session was one of the highlights of the event.
I hope that you also found the event of benefit through the networking; maybe even sparking a few ideas from our other presenters and that you enjoyed your time in Hobart.
Many thanks once again for your time and involvement in this years Symposium and I look forward to following the continued success of Brumby’s Bakery and working with you on future events.

The Institute of Business Leaders thanks you most sincerely for featuring as a Guest Speaker at our Corporate Club Luncheon on Wednesday 12th October at Hilton Brisbane. I have much pleasure in enclosing a copy of your presentation for your records.
We received substantial feedback from Members and their Guests on your presentation on the history and success of Brumby’s Bakeries. We all thoroughly enjoyed your presentation and are pleased that we have access to Business Leaders like yourself.
Once again thank you and I wish you all the best for the future.

"The feedback evaluation forms showed that your session was one of great value and inspiration..the session was one of the highlights of the event"

An excellent speaker with a great sense of humor. Very inspirational.

"We had excellent feedback on your keynote address - the content, visuals, personal insights, honesty and hands on understanding earned great respect from our audience. Most importantly you garnered trust, spoke to, rather than at, the audience and with a sense of humour - a rare combination"

Great success story and wonderful approach to business.
