Urunga Networking
Gathering of Local Business and Community
Ten Urunga Businesses Share Their Stories
Ten Urunga businesses bared their souls at a lively Urunga Business and Community networking night at the School of Arts Hall last week. Nibbles and drinks were provided, and each business was invited to tell its story.
It was fascinating to hear how each business started, where it’s headed, what drives it, and who the people behind it are. Every presenter spoke with real passion for their work. Some were a little nervous, but all of them had a great story to tell.
Taylah Roberts from Banksie Blue shared her love of fashion and how the closure of the Boardwalk affected her business. Jordan Barbour of Elroys walked us through her journey into cooking. Ross Rose and Scott Davis spoke about their deep family connections to their business. Louise Knevett explained the responsibility she feels for her 30 employees. Linx McPherson described starting her Indigenous art business in Alice Springs. Tricia Helyer outlined how her work has changed alongside shifts in planning laws. Cadman Training, which teaches Word courses, was presented by Cadman Training’s Hilary Cadman. Kirsty Christenson outlined the wide range of services offered by Allied Health Services, and we welcomed Usman Jalib, the new owner of the Post Office.
Feedback from our recent survey showed that networking is important to members, so we’ll be focusing more on that at future events. These evenings are a great opportunity to meet other local businesses.
Join us for our next event, the popular Christmas Soiree. Details will be announced soon.
