A former Kingaroy girl has found sweet success, topping sales at Woolworths stores throughout Australia for the promotion of Cadbury chocolates.

Maree Kratzmann, who recently moved from Maryborough to Gladstone, only began with Cadbury a few weeks ago.

But in the lead-up to Mother’s Day, her promotion at supermarkets in the Gladstone and Rockhampton region produced record chocolate sales.

Maree, who was presenting her first showcase week with the firm, is excited that the region was not only No 1 in Queensland but a first throughout the entire nation.

“In topping sales ahead of larger supermarkets such as outlets at Indooroopilly, Sydney and Melbourne, it gave me my biggest achievement in all my years of merchandising,” Maree said.

Maree is a former student at Taabinga State School and Kingaroy State High School and began her working career as a dental assistant with the State Health Department’s school caravan network.
