⭐️ B I G N E W S ⭐️

With the arrival of our new addition earlier in the year came an opportunity for refocus and shifting priorities, it is with a heavy yet excited heart that the time has come to announce my departure from ABC and New Zealand to join my family on a new adventure across the ditch! After 10 years building up ABC to be an award winning business in Taranaki, building my food truck and a CBD cafe, I am looking forward to a new challenge in the Australian food industry with new ingredients and opportunities.

I am extremely proud of how far ABC Catering has come, from starting out by buying some catering gear and with $300 in the bank ABC was born.

Since I've been in business I've met so many epic people in the region and am so grateful for all the support over the years in helping me build my dream, I couldn't have done it without you all!

So with that being said, ABC catering is up for grabs!
Know someone looking for a catering business with a solid reputation, large customer base, regular small and large orders, and wedding industry opportunities?

Send them my way! Let's talk! 👋
