Gloria Jean’s Coffees wins in Australian Business Awards 2012
Gloria Jean’s Coffees received top honours in the category of Community Contribution and Innovation.
The award recognised Gloria Jean’s Coffees’ achievements for the fundraising efforts through With Heart, a Gloria Jean’s Coffees International Foundation.
With Heart’s signature annual fundraising event, Cappuccino for a Cause, in partnership with Variety ‐ the Children’s Charity in 2011, saw Gloria Jean’s coffee houses across the country raise over $150,000 for Variety, which funded the purchase of Sunshine Coaches and Liberty Swings.
Angela Saleh, Director of With Heart, said they are truly honoured to be recognised by the Australian Business Awards.
Meanwhile Gloria Jean’s Coffees was also presented as the 2012 Winner of the Australian Business Award for Innovation, for Coffee House of the Future, the largest project undertaken by the brand.
Launched in October 2011, the project saw an overall brand refresh for the company, including an interior revamp of their coffee house design, new food menu, enhancements to brewing methods, and additional staff training and development.
