Originally from regional northern Victoria, Andrew spent 25 years working in the finance industry, firstly in Melbourne and then Sydney, specialising in compliance and corporate governance with both back office and retail funds management service providers. Keen interests in travel and involvement with the performing arts have taken him to Europe on several occasions. A ‘tree change’, and the ongoing restoration of a heritage listed rural property has committed Andrew to the Barossa region, and from October 2008, a completely new career experience at The Louise.  Andrew leads a team of enthusiastic and devoted individuals who are totally committed to ensuring guests enjoy a truly memorable stay at The Louise in the Barossa Valley.

Sales and Events Manager

Miranda was born and raised in South Africa amongst the sugar cane fields, sunshine, beaches and mountain ranges on the East Coast of South Africa. After successfully completing a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing Management and Psychology plus an Honours degree in Marketing Management, Miranda got bitten by the ‘travel bug’ and found herself snowboarding the Rocky Mountains of Colorado as well as visiting many other stops including England, Ireland, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, and Dubai. Settling for a while in London she got her foot in the door of a B2B media company and soon found herself immersed in the world of events as an events organiser and marketer. It was here that her love for events, marketing and a career that involved a high level of interaction and variety was cemented.  Miranda fell for an aussie boy and made the move Downunder, embracing with open arms the Australian culture, Barossa traditions and the world of wine.
