Breakfast with Robert Cripps AM

The private story of a very public brand. 

What appear to be small, insignificant events can often lead to far greater outcomes, for better or worse. And so it is for the Cripps family. Had it not been for a relative’s modest birthday celebration more than a century ago, a sleepy teenager and a peeved patriarch, the remarkable story of a dynasty of business entrepreneurs and philanthropists might never have existed.

It’s a story that spans five generations and two world wars, revered educational institutions and squalid, poverty-ridden Third World streets. It’s a tale of hard manual labour, a keen eye for entrepreneurial opportunities and a willingness to adapt to rapidly changing global market conditions. It encompasses the paradox of a brand that is a household name throughout the world and a family that has maintained the lowest of public profiles, preferring anonymity to publicity. And behind it all is a theme of profound generosity and altruism.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear Robert Cripps AM share with us his family’s truly remarkable story. Book now!

Join us at 7.00am (for a 7.30am start) at the Brighton Yacht Club for what promises to be a great event.
