HAVING commenced trading on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) for the first time last week, Wellard celebrated that night with a festive season function.
Wellard chief executive officer Mauro Balzarini and his wife Giovanna Boventi, Giovi Ldt's chairwoman, hosted the celebrations at Frasers Restaurant, Kings Park, with Wellard and industry representatives and friends.
Getting in the Christmas cheer, guests participated in an auction raising $70,000 for the Royal Flying Doctors Service and the Children's Leukaemia and Cancer Research Foundation, WA.
Mr Balzarini said it had been a very busy year but was looking forward to the future.
