Last Thursday, our sleek new Sydney office at Grosvenor Place played host to an evening that was as much about connection as it was about celebration. Our clients and partners were treated to a tour of our hybrid workspace. Designed by Cachet Group with collaboration top of mind, it was pretty special to witness this live in action! Beyond the glitz and glam, it was a night that marked our ongoing commitment to fostering meaningful connections with our clients and team members 🤝 To those who joined us, thank you for making the evening truly memorable. #macphersonkelley #sydney #mkevents #bettereachday #networking

Our Sydney office rocked denim for a cause close to our hearts: Jeans for Genes AU Day 💙👖 This initiative, which we proudly support, is all about raising much-needed funds for research into childhood genetic disorders. With 1 in 20 kids facing a birth defect or genetic disease—equating to a child born every minute worldwide—we knew it was time to roll up our sleeves (and pant legs) for a good cause. We embraced the spirit of the day by donning denim and jeans, as well as donating to and educating ourselves on this meaningful cause. A big thank you to everyone who participated and chipped in!

What a day! Not even the rain could stop us from enjoying our Women in Business Lunch on the Brisbane River last week, where we were surrounded by some of our accomplished clients, partners and colleagues. This year we had the pleasure of hearing from the remarkable Bronwyn Sheehan OAM, Founder and Executive Director of The Pyjama Foundation. Bronwyn charted her journey with the not-for-profit organisation that has been a long-standing community partner of The Macpherson Kelley Foundation and is nothing short of inspirational. As one of our 2024 grant recipients, the work of the PJF has supported over 19,000 children in foster care, helping to break the cycle of disadvantage through mentorship and education. Bronwyn and her team of 'Pyjama Angels' have shown that a little guidance can go a long way in changing lives. 💙💚 https://lnkd.in/gan4bKRU #womeninbusiness #mkevents #community #mkfoundation #macphersonkelley
