Testimonials
"Nerida Kelton is the inspiration for the statement; "If you could bottle that, you'd make a fortune", in that her energy, commitment and drive, are exhausting, to others. She has a global view of events and calendars, that keeps everyone on track, and yet, at the same time, has an incredible eye for detail. She is tireless in her efforts for customers, clients, associations and friends. It is a privilege to know her, work with her, and to recommend her." Damian Cosgriff,Director, CTA Logistics
"I would describe Nerida as the organiser's organiser. She keeps many balls in the air, never misses deadlines, reminds everyone else to not miss theirs, is strategically smart, creatively brilliant and very good fun. I have no hesitation in recommending Nerida to anyone. "Matthew Crook, Director, Engaging Success
"Nerida Kelton is the driving force behind successful organisations, campaigns and conferences. She is a talented influencer, and I have personally seen her drive and tenacity make great events, absolutely exceptional. From board participation through to event management, I could not recommend Nerida more highly. "

"I have known and worked with Nerida in many capacities since the late 1990’s where at the time she was the Marketing Manager at Signet. In subsequent years, we have been involved with many collaborations where under her own company banner ‘Public Profiles’, Nerida passionately developed new marketing messages and media to compliment a range of new packaging innovations my company was involved in. In parallel, I worked with Nerida in the redevelopment of the Australian Institute of Packaging covering all business aspects from marketing, commercial, education, training and associated industry partnerships. Nerida has become a true treasure to the Australian packaging industry with significant relationships, projects and collaborations established globally based on her ever-present professionalism and passion to help others and always deliver a positive outcome."George GanzenmullerPackaging Technical Development and Innovation Manager, Orora.
"Nerida is a great event organiser. I have engaged Nerida on several occasions to run large scale events over many days with outstanding results. On one occasion these events had a large international group present and they were in awe of how well we organise events in Australia with Public Profiles.I wrote this first paragraph several years ago. In the interim, I have had the pleasure of experiencing Nerida's considerable event management skills on several occasions. The most recent being the World Packaging Organisation's visit (again) to the Australian Institute of Packaging's National Conference to celebrate their World Star Awards. This attracted over 500 participants from over 27 countries for several days. This was a big event with some many moving parts and they all worked well, seamlessly and with a great outcome for all. The orchestra leader behind all of it was Nerida showing her considerable skills in this area. If you have an event to be managed - call Nerida." Ralph Moyle CPP FAIPSenior Packaging and Process Technologist, Simplot Australia, Past National President, Australian Institute of Packaging.
"Nerida is enthusiastic, purposeful, professional, results oriented, and above all is a delightful person. With excellent project management, marketing and promotional skills she stands out as a leader in a very tough and competitive environment."David Doherty OAMFounder-Explorer SCALO and Past SCLAA National Director
"Without Nerida's venue research, program organisation skills and attention to detail prior to and at the event there is little doubt that the AIP conferences and major events would not be as successful as they are now. Nerida is open to new ideas and investigates technology improvements which can improve the delivery of the AIP's training program. Public Profiles have provided the AIP with their administration skills for over a decade and are a key foundation for the organisation. "Llew Stephens FAIPPast National President, Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP)
"If you are looking for someone who is innovative, highly professional, energetic, extremely capable, honest and open and the best in her field than Nerida Kelton is the person you need to have as part of your team. I had the privilege of working with Nerida for 18 years in organising, the Queensland Supply Chain and Logistics Conference and seen it grow to be recognised as the premium supply chain event in Australia. This has only occurred through her professionalism, energy and focus in moving this event to the professional level it is today. Nerida has also applied the same values and energy to her role as a past president of the Supply Chain and Logistics Association of Australia - QLD with the same results."
