Our Story
WHAT WAS IT LIKE GROWING UP WITH FILIPPO?
Family is very important to my father. He would keep up with visits and phone calls and respect for friends, family, and clients. We grew up in a fast-paced and spontaneous environment: like, “Let’s go out for pizza or pancakes” on the rocks at 11:00 pm on a school night was normal. Life was fun.
WHAT’S THE SECRET TO BEING IN THE INDUSTRY FOR 50 YEARS?
Dad’s Philosophy was to open his doors like family to everyone. It was a place of trust. He remembered people by name and the date you had your event, even sometimes after 10 years. He genuinely cared about his clients and made time for them. His generosity and ability to transform the hospitality industry through innovation, trust and client happiness is a base no one can surpass.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT NAVARRA TURNING 50 AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU PERSONALLY?
I am so proud of this achievement. It humbles me as I remember, as a young girl, the humble beginnings that Mum and Dad built for us and sacrificed for us. I love Mum and Dad’s story of pride, romance, triumphs, hardships, creativity, resilience, humility, ambition and strength.
WHERE DO YOU SEE THE NAVARRA BRAND GOING IN THE NEXT DECADE?
I personally would love to see Navarra be a teacher in the industry. Help young start-up businesses and young entrepreneurs of today know what it takes to succeed; be taught to enter the world of hospitality with excitement. It’s a truly magical industry.
Fastforward 50 years
With 50 years of Events and Hospitality experience and over 200,000 events successfully hosted, there’s reasoning behind our renowned industry reputation. Growing from one venue, to another (another, and another…), we are now Sydney’s leading venue and hospitality group – influencing the game with innovation and harnessed creativity.
At Navarra, we are constantly on the look-out for potential new venues across the state that offer the prospects of incredible and life-changing events. We won’t settle for just anything. This is why we are 50 years strong in such a competitive Australian market.
“GRAZIE PER IL HONOURE DI SERVIRE FAMIGLIA COMO VOI ALLA NOSTRA PICCOLA CONCA D’ ORO.”
