Lani Blanco-Francis with Aunty Beryl Van-Oploo

LBF Consulting was one of a group of Indigenous business who attended AIMSC’s inaugural Meet the Buyer event on February 18.

Yaama Dhiyaan Hospitality Training College was the venue, located next door to Carriage Works in Redfern.

It’s a great meeting space – an exciting mix of industrial chic and contemporary space.

Founder Aunty Beryl Van-Oploo gave attendees a Welcome to Country and explained the meaning of Yaama Dhiyaan: ‘happy to meet you, you are welcome’. Aunty Beryl has now realised her dream for Yaama Dhiyaan to be a fully operational hospitality training college and function centre.

The Meet the Buyer initiative provided a meeting space for Indigenous Business suppliers to meet one on one with private and public sector procurers including Gilbert + Tobin, Compass, Cisco, QANTAS and DEEWR (Department of Education Employment and Workplace Relations), to name just a few.

The aim? For this to translate into real opportunities for all AIMSC business members.

The atmosphere buzzed as businesses and buyers met one-on-one to pitch their services within a 10 minute timeframe, a la speed-dating style.

But with so much talent in the room, ten minute meet ‘n’greets inevitably rolled on to longer Q & A’s.

The only distraction from doing business was lunch - prepared by Yaama Dhiyaan’s  hospitality team. Most diners opted for Kangaroo, which was delicious!

We welcome you to the new look www.lbfconsulting.com.au which launched on Tues, 23 March.

We’ve aimed for more than a design refurbishment or a catalogue listing of our products and services - instead we hope to ‘start a conversation’ by introducing you to our way of doing business via our blend of information, trends, interviews and profiles. You can also receive news updates via our opt-in eNews.

As you browse our site we hope you’ll find we have a fresh approach, a commitment to quality and best practice, and that our website is a jargon-free zone.

If you are an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander job seeker looking for a career, employment, or job-ready skills, we can help.

If you’re a business person in need of employment solutions, we can help you deliver them. And if you are new to the Indigenous recruitment space, you probably have a lot of questions - talk to us.

Throughout 2010 we will be developing our website and rolling out new functionality. Stay tuned!
