The workshop was attended by business people from across the region.

After a too long break, the Chamber recommenced member meetings in Livingstone with a workshop at the Yeppoon RSL on Wednesday 15 March.

Coordinated and delivered by Craig Gibbs, the workshop was a high energy, motivational introduction to the big things that

business owners and managers need to get right.

Craig, who until recently owned and ran Aquatic Pool and Spa along with his wife Kim, has a business coaching and support

background.

The Chamber has experienced ongoing new membership in recent months.

Along with businesses that will be well known such as the Rocky Sports Club, who are gold members, Catholic Care and Coffee House Apartments, are some that may not be as well known as they operate in more niche industry areas.

warehousing and distribution with online financial management packages such as XERO.

Both businesses can be contacted through the Chamber in the first instance.
