Geoff Fisken and his wife hosted the day; guests included Bugaboo's co-founder Eduard Zanen and Chief Marketing Officer Madeleen Klaasen along with The Woolmark Company ambassador Catriona Rowntree.

Bugaboo Chief Marketing Officer Madeleen Klaasen said: "Bugaboo has enjoyed the authentic story and provenance of Australian wool; it fits perfectly with the performance, functionality and style of our brand.
