The Canterbury Bankstown Chamber of Commerce recently held a highly successful Business After 5 event on the 8th floor of the Western Sydney University campus in Bankstown. This exciting new location provided the perfect setting for the first event of the year, with a sold-out crowd of local businesspeople in attendance.

The theme of the event was “Doing Business with Council,” and it proved to be a valuable opportunity for attendees to learn about the council’s tender process and how to successfully work with them as contractors. As guests arrived, they were greeted with delicious finger food provided by two local businesses, Dough Boss and Franky & Co.

The event began with an opening address by Mr. Wally Mehanna, the president of the Canterbury Bankstown Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Mehanna welcomed guests and introduced the major sponsors of the event. He then invited representatives from the council to speak about their tender process and how local businesses can work with them to secure contracts.

The presentation by the council representatives was informative and well-received by the attendees, particularly those who had previously struggled to do business with the council. The speakers provided valuable insights and advice on the council’s expectations, requirements, and processes.

The Business After 5 event proved to be an excellent opportunity for attendees to connect with other local businesses, learn from industry experts, and gain valuable insights on how to do business with the council. Many guests commented on the event’s success and expressed their appreciation for the organizers and sponsors who made it possible.

Overall, the Canterbury Bankstown Chamber of Commerce’s first Business After 5 event for 2023 was a resounding success, and attendees left with valuable knowledge and new connections to help them grow their businesses.
