On Tuesday 24th October we had the pleasure of being invited to attend the 2017 Telstra Western Australian Business Women Awards at Crown. The Telstra Business Women’s Awards shine a light on women’s achievements as business leaders and Western Australia has an abundance of inspirational, driven and impactful women.

Mrs Franceschi has been immersed in the avocado industry for over 4 decades.
