The event was an opportunity to speak to and consult with organisations and government departments on questions, problems and challenges in numerous areas of business during the free day-long program.
Hills Mayor, Yvonne Keane said the Small Business Exchange was a big success with many businessmen and women coming together, learning skills and taking back new knowledge so they can make better and informed business decisions.
“The Hills is one of the two highest annual GDP growth areas in Sydney,” Mayor Keane said.
“We scored 5.9 per cent growth along with Ryde which came in at six per cent in the SGS Economics and Planning Report. This contrasts to several other leading areas in Sydney including Parramatta at 2.3 per cent growth, the CBD at 4.8 per cent and Blacktown at 2.8 per cent.
“This is an outstanding result – and great news for business people because it indicates our local economy is not just alive and well, but booming. “
