Hundreds of guests, including the FMCG Business team, gathered in Auckland in honour of BIC’s big milestone. The celebrations kicked off with presentations from OfficeMax NZ Managing Director Kevin Obern and Laura Grufus from BIC Australasia, followed by the cutting of a massive ball-pen-shaped chocolate cake, which took nearly 40 hours to make and was designed to feed over 400 staff at OfficeMax.
