Holiday Closure
Bedford closes over the festive season - employees and staff are away from 22 Dec, with most departments returning 6 Jan, Day Options back on 7 Jan, and Packaging, Cleaning, and Hospitality returning on 13 Jan 2024. Balyana and Experiences continue as normal.

Bedford Packaging staff at Elizabeth and Panorama have been busy for the past few weeks packing a variety of Royal Adelaide Show and Drakes Showbags for shoppers and Show-goers.

A contingent of Bedford employees and staff went along to the Royal Adelaide Show to check out Showbag Hall first-hand, and to drop in on the ABC broadcast.

Connor Dawkins from Bedford Packaging was excited to speak to ABC Radio morning host, Angela Coe, live from the Adelaide Showgrounds.

Connor talked about how many showbags Bedford packed this year, including the last ever Fantales Showbag - a sad year for all of us in SA!

Bedford’s CMO, Kelly Walker, also discussed with Angela how other businesses across the state can employ people with disability.

You can listen to the interview at the link below, and take a look at the Showbag packing in action in one of our videos of the awesome Packaging staff.

Present during the broadcast are Kelly, Connor, and Angela (on air), and fellow Bedford employees Julie and Nick who also attended the Royal Show to see the broadcast in action.

We hope all show-goers manage to get their favourite showbag and have a great time at the Show!
