Welcome to MBGC online magazine Autumn edition
In this edition, we go all out to celebrate International Women’s Day held on March 8th, and pay homage to the powerful, intelligent and successful women shaking things up around the Gold Coast.
We take a drive with savvy businesswomen Kelly Taggart, who is making her floral footprint as CEO of Roses Only, Australia’s largest online retailer of delivered flowers and gifts.
For Enterprise, we sit down with wellness warrior and the 2021 Gold Coast Woman in Business Award recipient Felicity Cohen, to discuss stopping the bias against women in leadership positions; we also discover entrepreneur Shannae Dumbrell’s handcrafted candle designs By Womankinde in Label; and unpack the secrets of authentic Mexican and Southern Californian tortillas with Deann Thomson of Diego’s in Plate.
To top things off, we venture down to Kirra and Coolangatta beaches, then travel through time and space in the slick new Mercedes-Benz EQG electric concept car in Propaganda.
Share the link with your friends, and if you’d like to view the range of Mercedes-Benz autos, please view the Pre-Owned Catalogue in the top menu or call into our Robina showroom.

Petal to the metal
Entering a national company as an entry-level accountant, Kelly Taggart worked her way up through the ranks with unyielding tenacity and determination.
Lighting the creative flame
Shannae Dumbrell’s dreamy candle creations for By Womankinde add a unique designer aesthetic to compliment any space and have helped the small-business owner to shine bright amidst the darkness of the pandemic.
Wrapped up in success
What started out as a no-frills labour of love for native Californian Deann Thomson has taken Gold Coast-based manufacturing company Diego’s from strength to strength in a 26-year success story.
Health is wealth
A leader in holistic health and an inspiration to women in business, wellness warrior Felicity Cohen believes research is the key to a functionally fit and healthy population.
Moreton bay bug & prawn tortellini, mustard fruit buerre blanc
This dish has been on the Little Truffles menu since we opened over 11 years ago. It is by far the most popular dish we have.
From small batch to big things
When five friends get together to decide on what to call their new boutique bottle shop and deli, they name it after a cocktail of course.
The future is (nearly) here
The late 1970s (for those who remember) was a far simpler time when social media, space travel and pandemics were mere science fiction.
Kirra & Coolangatta
It’s believed by some that Kirra was named after a boomerang by the local Indigenous people.
