Woolworths as a key partner for reaching a broader audience while maintaining our quality and brand integrity,” Dickson explains. International expansion is also on the horizon. With expertise across specialty coffee, mainstream coffee, and private-label production, NCG is well-positioned to explore global markets in Asia and beyond. As NCG scales, maintaining its culture remains a top priority. Dickson and Veneziano continue to lead the business, ensuring that the company’s family roots are preserved even as it becomes a corporate-sized organization. This balance of agility and governance allows NCG to stay nimble, seize opportunities, and avoid the bureaucracy that often slows larger businesses.“We never want to lose that small-business mentality,” Dickson emphasizes. “It’s what keeps us creative, connected, and true to who we are.” A JOURNEY OF PASSION AND PURPOSE Reflecting on the company’s 25-year journey, Dickson takes pride in how far Veneziano Coffee Roasters has come. From a shed in Melbourne to becoming one of Australia’s largest roasters, the business is a remarkable success story. But for Dickson, success is about more than size or revenue. 9 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 07, ISSUE 09 VENEZIANO COFFEE ROASTERS
