Lunch Lady Podcast
Jane chats with Louise from Lunch Lady magazine
Founder of Bb*, Jane Marx chats with Louise Bannister from the beloved Lunch Lady Magazine and podcast.
“Jane spent years establishing a thriving hospitality-based social enterprise that employed young refugee women. Then the pandemic struck. With a newborn under her arm, she pivoted the business and created The Beautiful Bunch. Jane’s story from hopelessness to success (all while nursing a newborn) is an incredibly inspiring reminder for us all to keep going, even when everyone tells you not to.”

Bb* expands into events
Jane and The Beautiful Bunch team were invited to pitch at The Funding Network Australia’s live crowdfunding event, where they walked away with $37,000 to keep the enterprise going and expand into event floristry.
“On the night we didn’t have a figure in mind and I hadn’t been able to do any kind of pre-fundraising because we have been so flat out. We were just hopeful that we’d go and get $20,000… and then to raise nearly double that was phenomenal,” she says.
