Multicultural cuisine day

Hetherington recently returned to the office and proposed to re-connect the team after working from home with a multicultural cook-off, a great way to learn about each other’s culture and diversity plus appreciate how lucky we are to have so many cultures and cuisines to enjoy without having to travel interstate or overseas.

Our team lunch centered around our individual and shared cultures and our appreciation for all the variety we get to experience through diversity.
