Game Changers: In conversation with Queensland business leader Heath Goddard

From one small store in Brisbane’s Ann Street in 1977, Heath Goddard has grown Pillow Talk into a national retail chain. The retail industry is being rocked by the impact of online shopping and a turbulent economy, while Pillow Talk is pursuing an expansionary strategy.

In a homogenised industry, Pillow Talk diversified and innovated homeware design and now hosts in-house designers collaborating with Australian suppliers and international partners. It is their strong design philosophy and focus on visual merchandising that has ensured success across the decades and continual growth into the future.

Facilitated by Ray Weekes, Chair of CEO Institute, the Game Changers series brings innovation leaders from business, technology, and creative industries to share their insights with aspiring Queensland entrepreneurs. Hear first-hand how prominent Queensland entrepreneurs and business leaders build companies, reinvent themselves generation after generation, inspire teams, and envision success.This event will be followed by a networking function, with first drink complimentary.

Game Changers is a Queensland Business Leaders Hall of Fame initiative presented by SLQ, QUT Business School and the Queensland Library Foundation. The Queensland Business Leaders Hall of Fame, celebrates, records and retells the stories of Queensland business leaders and their contributions to Queensland.
