To celebrate the opening of Paspaley’s new boutique in the Darwin CBD, clients were treated to a unique function at the flagship store in Sydney’s CBD.
Guests were able to try on exclusive jewellery pieces while enjoying champagne and Pearl meat canapés at the private viewing of Paspaley’s Australian South Sea pearl collection.
The 40 guests also discovered the impressive 80 year pioneering heritage of Paspaley, which is headquartered in Darwin. This special experience was a sample of the “Paspaley Pearl Discovery Tour” on offer in the new Paspaley boutique in Darwin’s CBD for groups of up to 50 delegates.
The brand is recognised as one of the world’s leading Australian South Sea pearl producers, who make a significant contribution to the aquaculture industry in the Norther Territory economy. In addition to pearling, the Northern Territory’s sustainable aquaculture harvest of mud crabs, prawns, tropical snapper, barramundi and mackerel is of world-class standard for international exporting.
The evening was a delight for the senses in the heritage listed boutique with clients coming from across all business event segments including corporate, associations and professional conference organisers. Mate of the Territory and Today Show co-host Lisa Wilkinson attended and spoke about her love affair with the Territory and inspired guests to recognise Darwin as the perfect place for an energising, dynamic and original business event.
Christopher Paspaley, third generation member of the Paspaley family, spoke about the positive influence Darwin has had on the brand and touched on how the company is continually re-investing in the growing Territory economy.
“The Darwin Convention Centre was thrilled to host this special occasion for our clients and showcase the special and uniquely Australian experiences that are available for delegates visiting Darwin. We are able to offer a world class venue in a tropical resort-like setting, where delegates have mind-space to focus on the business at hand and opportunities to network and make quality business connections.
“By working with Paspaley and other specialty Territory businesses, we are also able to facilitate and deliver highly memorable and unique conferencing experiences”, said Janet Hamilton, General Manager of the Darwin Convention Centre.
