Celebrating 30 years of natural Australian beauty at the Natio Gala
On 17th February 2023, we celebrated our 30th lap around the sun, near to where it all began at Abbotsford Convent.
Past and present employees joined valued suppliers and distributors for a gala event at the Convent, mere blocks from our first office premises at Marine Parade.
200 guests met to celebrate 30 years of natural Australian beauty over canapes accompanied by a three-piece jazz band, before enjoying a three-course banquet catered by Peter Rowland Group.
Our Managing Director Mahesh Ross opened the event which highlighted Natio's many achievements over the course of the past three decades, and launched our new website pages, a time capsule of Natio’s founder story, brand timeline and commitments to the future.
The Gala event also coincided with the launch of the our new colour story collection, Celebrate, a limited-edition capsule of cosmetics including our first ever 18-pan eyeshadow palette, a cream blush and highlight duo and sparkling nail colour.
Founder Max Ross re-tuned his guitar and joined former bandmates of The Groop, for the band’s first performance in decades. The Groop performed their top hits from the late 60s including I’m Sorry and Ain’t She Sweet.
The night concluded with hits from over the decades, spun by DJ Claire Elliott.
