The first ever Proudly Wyndham Business Expo will be held this October.

The new event is designed to support local Wyndham businesses and provide them with an opportunity showcase their products, build their profile and generate new leads and sales.

“We’re always looking for new ways to support Wyndham businesses,” said Wyndham mayor Jennie Barrera of the idea behind the new expo.

“This expo aims to help businesses connect with local suppliers and service providers to build a vibrant local supply chain of producers, suppliers and distributors

of goods and services – because we know that when we buy local, that money stays local.”

Cr Barrera encouraged local businesses to not only attend the inaugural expo, but apply to be exhibitors too.

“The expo will also feature a variety of workshops, providing businesses with practical tips and resources to help grow their business to the next level. We look forward to seeing a wide array of businesses exhibit, from accounting and IT solutions, to manufacturing, education, engineering and more.”

The expo will be held on Friday, October 18 from 9am – 4pm at Encore Events Centre in Hoppers Crossing.

As well as promoting and networking, businesses who want to access practical resources and tools/apps to help them grow, learn from industry leaders to boost knowledge and skills, source local service providers and connect with Wyndham’s diverse business community, are encouraged to apply.

Exhibitor applications are open now and will close on August 18 at: www.wyndham.vic.gov.au/proudlywyndham
