Attending the annual CEO lunch is more important than ever for local businesses of all sizes.

‘2020 has been a challenging year for Australia, with bushfires, the ongoing drought and now COVID-19. We are only just beginning to face its economic consequences and rather than just repairing the economy, we need to think about how to rebuild it to be even more resilient and self-sufficient.’ Gladys Berejklin
 
With this in mind, we are following the premier’s lead and bringing together key industry leaders such as; Property Council Australia, Infrastructure NSW, National Australia Bank and the Hills Shire Council for an insightful panel discussion.

Join us for this must attend, virtual lunch to hear first hand on where we are as a region, and what opportunities there are for local businesses now and in the future.
