In a survey after the event, people who responded said the event helped them to generate business leads, create new business contacts and access services or information to help grow their business.

100%  of respondents said they would attend again.  Comments on what was most liked was the atmosphere, and the opportunity for further exposure and networking in Wauchope.

“The Wauchope Small Business Expo proved a great success with a positive response from local business,” said Wauchope Chamber president, Gary Rainbow.

“The event was well-attended with a diverse range of industries represented. The Chamber is delighted with the outcomes which saw local organisations gain new leads for their businesses and develop new contacts,” he said.

“With the positive feedback from local business we will look to organise another expo in the future with a focus of driving more of the public along to learn what is happening right here in our own back yard.”
