Fruits Sydney wrapped up November with one of our biggest and most energising nights of the year. The gorgeous Mezzanine House was buzzing from the moment doors opened, with 105 attendees filling the space, an incredible mix of first-timers, long-timers, business owners, professionals, and community leaders from all sectors, and all genders.
Everyone is welcome at the PBA! Check out our upcoming events.
We were delighted to welcome some very special guests, including The Block winners Mitch and Mark, as well as Simon Davies, the founder of the iconic Fruits and Suits, the very event that paved the way for what has become Fruits Sydney today. The room was full of new faces. Their presence added something truly memorable to an already fabulous night. Thank you to everyone who made it.
