After many years of dedication, leadership and loyalty, we say farewell to our long-time Store Manager, Melissa “Lis” Hird.
From the early days of the small Co-Op Bottleshop through to the growth and success of the current Cellarbrations Gunnedah store, Lis has been a reliable and familiar face to both our team and customers. Her hard work, commitment and care for the business have helped shape the store into what it is today.
While we are sad to see Lis leave Cellarbrations Gunnedah, we are excited for her as she takes on a new opportunity with her current employer at the new IGA Liquor Windmill Hill in Moore Creek — and we know she’ll enjoy spending a little less time on the road!
With every farewell also comes a welcome, and we are pleased to introduce Dave Browne as the new Store Manager. Many locals will already know Dave, and Lis can leave knowing her “baby” is being left in very safe hands.
Please join us in thanking Lis for everything she has done over the years and wishing both Lis and Dave all the very best in their new chapters 🍻
