“It’s more than just a strategic investment in our future – it’s a space where our primos can feel inspired and energised, helping us deliver on our promise of premium spirits to the territory while nurturing the next generation of leaders,” said Schmidt.

The modern space offers amenities that promote a balanced lifestyle, encouraging a culture of inclusivity and innovation .As part of its growth strategy, Bacardi-Martini Australia is also implementing a range of policies aimed at shaping a more inclusive and supportive work environment.
