At Openway, we’re continuing to invest to enable us bring ‘better for you’ food to more Australian households – and we’re excited to announce two new joiners to our finance team.   Ritesh Patel has joined as Head of Commercial Finance - a newly created role to support our commercial teams in bringing growth and innovation to market. He joins us after 10 years at Lifestyles Wellness, the last 8 as the Head of Finance for their APAC region, and his depth of experience will serve us well as we continue to scale our operations.   Supporting Ritesh we’ve appointed Patrick Gilmour, a final year Commerce student at the University of Melbourne, as Finance Analyst. We are strong believers in early talent and providing them with real world experience – and Patrick joins a growing cohort of interns and early career professionals that have been part of the Openway story.    Welcome to the team Ritesh & Patrick!

We’re proud to have AFL legend Max Gawn backing our Buy One, Give One campaign this year, as we partner with Foodbank Australia and ALDI Stores Australia to deliver three million breakfasts to Aussies doing it tough this winter. Right now, for every pack of Red Tractor 1.6kg oats you buy at ALDI, the equivalent will be donated to Foodbank, with each donation providing up to 40 meals for those in need. It’s a simple way to make a real difference – and with Max backing the campaign, we hope even more Aussies will get behind it. Pick up a pack, help someone in need, and join us in giving back.
