Episode #17 

Meet Noreen Bryan, co-owner of High st Depot, Penrith.

Noreen started her career as an apprentice chef at Aria, one of Australia’s most popular restaurants. It’s also where she met her now husband Tim Bryan. 

After years of working and opening venues for other people they decided to sell everything they had, move back to the west to move in with their family to follow their dreams of opening their own venue. 

In today’s episode we talk about the importance of women in hospitality, the sacrifices that are required, how crucial support from both families was for them to be able to open High St Depot and the affect covid had on her. 

One of Noreens greatest qualities other than being super woman, is her positive attitude,  nothing is ever a problem for her and she is always smiling. She has an amazing ability to make her guests feel like family. Along with her husband Tim, they have been able to run a very successful business, while also raising 4 beautiful children. 

Tim was also recently interviewed on this podcast for anyone wanting to listen it was episode #11.
