Gilligan Group

There’s no party like an AAMEG birthday!

Last night’s 15-Year Anniversary Dinner was a special milestone for us too, bringing back fond memories of working with Trish O'Reilly and Bill Turner in its formative years.

We also recognise the amazing work Bill Repard of Paydirt Media has done in bringing shared meaning and opportunity between our two continents. These figureheads are just a few of the trailblazers who have been influential in developing meaningful relationships and capacity building between African nations and the Australian mining industry.

Today we are lucky to live in an Australia where female African leaders like Ayor Makur Chuot MLC represent the needs of our community. We look at you with admiration and wonder for the path you have travelled with such strength.

Thank you to Sara Bezzan (MASPRO), Aleksandra Peverall (Byrnecut), Andy Griffin (ECG Engineering Pty Ltd), Michael Leak (WILSHAW), William Burt (Metzke) and partners for joining us.

We would also like to give a special shoutout to our friends, Sarah Siva and Doug Horak, for hosting such a wonderful evening.

Gilligan Group is proud to have worked with AAMEG for over a decade, and it has been a privilege to watch this community grow from strength to strength and continue creating meaningful opportunities across the Australian and African continents.

The G Force stepped out in style for a platinum viewing of The Devil Wears Prada 2, and besides being more inspired to embrace our inner Miranda Priestly, we are happy to announce that Hollywood is also backing the notion that 'public relations is not dead!'

The landscape is different, the channels and pace have changed, but the power of a well-told story is still very much alive. A strong outfit continues to dictate perception, which is as much about clothing as it is about a strong brand identity.

When did you last put your brand on the runway? 👠✨

As Gold Sponsor, we were honoured to support WARPNINE’s License to Kill Cancer inaugural fundraising event over the weekend. A heartfelt thank you to Dr Andrew Dean for committing your life to prolonging others' lives and to William Brentson for inviting us to get behind this crucial cause.

WARPNINE is doing remarkable trailblazing research for pancreatic, gastro intestinal and rare cancers, the cancers that don't receive the attention and funding they deserve.

To contribute further, we’re still hoping that there might be a business out there that is seeking a new visual identity and if so we're hoping to donate the proceeds of that brand package directly to WARPNINE.

If you would like to discuss this opportunity confidentially, please reach out to us at [email protected]

This a crucial cause worth backing.
