What does it mean for traditional food and beverage businesses like SPC and Coca-Cola Amatil? Both have adapted for over 100 years – can they continue to adapt and what will it take? How will they support and be supported by the communities in which they operate?

Alison Watkins is Group Managing Director of Coca-Cola Amatil – one of Australia’s largest food and beverage manufacturers and proud owner of SPC – She was previously CEO of GrainCorp, with businesses including edible oils, flour milling and malt.
