Bec and Elise were onsite at The Works Corrimal today alongside Development Director Steve Ball, scoping out the space ahead of some very exciting milestones to come 👀 🏗️

We’ve loved working with the The Works Corrimal and Legacy Property teams across event management, production, social media, content creation and paid media buying, and it’s incredibly exciting to see the buildings rising so quickly on site.

A big project coming to life in the heart of Corrimal, with plenty more to come. 👏

Say hi to Bec Forbes, our Head of Events at – a multitasking weapon loaded with charisma.

Bec brings a wealth of experience in event delivery, paired with a sharp eye for detail. She has successfully managed everything from large-scale events for major brands to celebrity meet-and-greets and impactful local activations.

We asked Bec what she enjoys most about working in the events industry…

“I love the satisfaction of bringing ideas to fruition, from initial strategy and concept through to the successful delivery of an amazing event. While the work is demanding and often involves long hours behind the scenes, the energy and impact of a well-executed event continue to make it incredibly rewarding.”

As a true full-service agency and the go-to for events and marketing in the Illawarra, we’re proud to be one of the founding partners of International Women’s Day Illawarra.

So, we thought… what better way to show what we do than to take you behind the scenes of a project we’re proud to deliver year after year?

As the founding partner of International Women's Day - Illawarra, we were incredibly proud to once again deliver both the event and marketing for Friday’s International Women's Day Illawarra Luncheon, marking our 21st year supporting this incredible event.

It was a fantastic day and one our whole team is so proud to have helped bring to life.

From event concept and graphic design, to marketing, media and public relations, talent management, and production strategy and delivery with our amazing partners, this was a true end-to-end effort. And of course, expert event production and management delivered by our team.

A special congratulations to our founder Vicki Tiegs OAM, and to the entire committee for another incredible year of partnership and another successful event.

A wonderful celebration featuring this year’s speaker , who inspired almost 1,000 attendees with her powerful story. 💜

Last night the Waples team came together to share stories and celebrate an incredible chapter as we farewell our PR Strategist, Denise Everton, who is retiring after an extraordinary 20+ year career in media and public relations, including almost 12 years with Waples.

Denise has been an invaluable part of our team and a highly respected figure across the Wollongong media landscape. Her experience, insight and steady presence have shaped countless stories, campaigns and relationships over the years.

When reflecting on her time with us, Denise shared that if there’s one thing she’ll miss most, it’s the Waples team and honestly, there’s no better compliment than that.

Please join us in wishing Denise all the very best for her retirement. Thank you for everything you’ve given to Waples, your colleagues and the community, you will be greatly missed. 💛💛
