The Burdekin Chamber, formerly known as Ayr Chamber of Commerce, wrapped up a big 2023 with a Christmas breakup hosted by Blinds 2 U in Home Hill.
Burdekin Chamber President Leigh Kefford said reflecting on 2023 fills him with pride and optimism.
“This year, marked by our transition from the Ayr Chamber of Commerce, has been a journey of transformation and growth,” he said.
“Our hugely successful Chamber Connect events have been a significant highlight, offering varied and insightful platforms for networking and learning.”
Mr Kefford said the expansion of Chamber Connect themes to include a wider range of business sectors and relevant community issues has been one of the Chamber’s most successful initiatives this year.
“This approach has not only broadened participation but also enriched the resources and support we provide to our members,” he said.
“It’s a reflection of our commitment to evolving and adapting to the diverse needs of our business community.
“From the informative session on crime prevention with the Ayr Police to the diverse business insights at events like the one at Nutrien Harcourts McCathies, each gathering has fostered a deeper sense of community and collaboration.”
Looking ahead to 2024, Mr Kefford said he’s excited about introducing more targeted events, training opportunities and initiatives, further strengthening the Chamber’s advocacy role to ensure that the voices of Burdekin businesses are heard and considered in decision-making processes.
“We aim to continue enhancing the business environment in our region and supporting each member's growth and success,” he said.
“To our chamber members and the business community, I express my deepest appreciation for your unwavering support and active participation.
“Your engagement is the cornerstone of our collective achievements.
“As we step into the new year, I encourage each of you to reflect on your successes and achievements that you have achieved and share these on social media and with each other.
“In unity and with a shared vision for safety, growth, and excellence, let’s look forward to a prosperous 2024.
“Together, we will continue to make a positive impact in the Burdekin region.”
