industry association

Our final guest featured episode of series 1 of the podcast, and please make sure you tune into the Series Conclusion episode which is a brief summary and tie off over the past 5mths of learnings..

In todays episode,  I chat with General Manager of the Independent Brewers Association (IBA), Kylie Lethbridge to discuss their role in the Independent craft beer industry and the benefits of a brewery becoming a member of the IBA Association.

With a focus on supporting independent craft breweries, the IBA sets out to providing industry representation and advocacy across all levels of government to make it easier to open up and operate an independent brewery here in Australia. 

Having over 500 members, made up of Breweries and Associates, Kylie explains for listeners today the IBA’s role in the Industry for Independent Breweries and its members, what their past and present lobbying efforts have been on the hot topic issues and challenges facing the industry, and shares her outlook on the years to come for brewery operators here in Oz.

Rebecca Park, Managing Director of Corporate Affairs at UK Finance talks to Daisy about the real role of communications professionals, why working in an industry body is more interesting that you might think and, of course, why everybody hates bankers.

She also dispenses some excellent advice, including: 

• One of the most valuable roles we can play is to be the person in the room who identifies and manages risk. 
• Building reputation isn't about talking to your customers about trust. Instead, focus on delivering what they expect from you - trust and reputation will follow. 
• Don't destroy your credibility by defending the indefensible. 
• Sometimes the right answer isn't to try and grab the headlines: communications takes many forms and the answer might be much more low key than that. And finally,
• Remember that not every decision needs to be taken right now. It might be even better to wait and observe. 

For all this as well as insights into how the financial crisis helped banks to navigate Covid, and sensible thoughts on looking after your team during an extended incident, tune in for our season finale.

Ghislaine Halpenny from the British Property Federation explains why everybody hates the property industry: they are seen as big, pinstripe-suited, Bentley-driving, cigar-smoking men. As well as issues with diversity, the sector has struggled to articulate the social and environmental value that it adds. We dive into all of this, talk about the role that an industry association can play in improving the reputation of a sector, and the discuss why investor and member reactions to the Covid-19 crisis have been a pleasant surprise – even as a challenging reputation has impacted the sympathy and financial aid available from the UK government.
