KPMG Australia and Family Business Association (AU) acknowledge the contribution Boccaccio, Hoddles Creek Estate & the D’Anna Family has made in growing the positive footprint for Australian family businesses.
This family's businesses trace back to the early 1960s when the D’Anna family arrived in Australia. Starting from humble beginnings, their businesses together have grown into a multifaceted paddock to plate operation, encompassing retail, wholesale and wine production. Their story exemplifies the journey of many family businesses, from small beginnings to significant economic and community, contributors.
During a recent catch up with Anthony D'Anna and Franco D'Anna we discussed the importance of advocacy and raising awareness about the significance of Australian family businesses. Both Anthony and Franco shared their thoughts that family businesses are a vital part of Australia's economy, offering unique stories of resilience, innovation, and community engagement. Australian Family Businesses are an essential contributor in sustaining Australia's economic diversity and prosperity.
They also emphasised the importance of staying relevant through technology and innovation is a priority for these family businesses, with a clear focus on maintaining a competitive edge against larger corporations as a key to their success. They have a clear focus on giving back to their industry and also to their local communities.
The D’Anna family is one of many of the Australian family business owners who are having a significant impact contributing to Australia’s infrastructure, economic resilience and broader community and we thank them for sharing their story with us. Please join us in congratulating them on their significant success and their contribution to Australia’s economy.
