David Wu is CEO of the wildly popular Asian food precinct, 8 Street and also director of Sunlit Asian Supermarkets. On the night, he was able to share a few tips and personal experiences in his journey from being a migrant to dishwashing in a foreign country to developing a thriving business. Attendees were engaged and inspired to have a specific vision and take action to achieve it. At the conclusion of the speech, attendees were also invited to ask questions which was great in gaining further insight into the challenges of growing a successful business.

Overall, it was a great night of growing networks and learning about other professionals in all steps of their career journeys. Such events are invaluable to helping attendees grow both personal and professionally.
The entire team at Bennett & Philp would like to thank the TAP team for their efforts in organising the event and look forward to building on the relationship for many years to come.
