When it comes to work shirts, we all value quality and durability—especially in the agricultural industry, where spending long days under the hot sun or in the chill of cooler months is just part of the job.

Enter Maddie Beatty, who, along with three others, started playing around with the idea of creating a work shirt brand that would capture their adventures from the sea to the stations.

From this idea, Hide to Tide was born. Nearly four years later, Maddie has taken over the reins entirely, with a mission to produce Australia's highest quality, most trusted work shirts. In 2023, Hide to Tide was recognised as the Most Innovative Work Shirt Brand of the year.

Though Maddie isn't originally from the country, she has embraced everything rural life offers, from the opportunities to the lifestyle. She marry her forever, Ben, a helicopter pilot, and is just beginning an exciting chapter in her life. Maddie is a kind, creative, and driven young woman making her mark in the agricultural sector—definitely one to watch!

Maddie is also passionate about bridging the gap between urban and rural communities, helping those in metropolitan areas understand the realities of working in agriculture and why it matters so much.

Hide to Tide shirts are known for their excellent quality, with perfect sleeve lengths and a fabulous range of colours. The brand is also expanding into a children's range, so make sure to check it out!

For many years now, New Zealand-born Fiona Baird has been bringing fun, fashion, and an incredible work ethic to her role as a stockwoman on live export shipments from Australia throughout Southeast Asia. Her story stands out because, despite the grit and grime of working with animals all day, she maintains her high style standards with well-done hair and bold red lipstick and a touch of chanel perfume. However, Fiona’s journey wasn’t always centered on live exports. She has lived a vibrant life, with many twists and turns since her childhood on a farm in the South Island of New Zealand, from a makeup artist in Melbourne to closing her eyes and pointing to a place on the Australian map landing her a job as a barmaid in Camowheel in QLD. In this episode we will also touch on greif, for Fiona it was loosing her father and we talk at length about the impact of what that has had.
