A Christmas party for small business
2021-12-13 17:30 - 20:30
We had a great time last year, so we are looking to spread the word to anyone who has a small business, is a sole trader or often works from home alone.
We know that there are businesses who don’t feel like they have enough staff to hold a party, or perhaps live in the South Burnett but work for a company they can’t party with. So this party is put on by Craig Tunley from Kookaburra Business group and myself at our local Kingaroy winery, Kingsley Grove Estate in effort to bridge that gap.
The tickets for this year’s Christmas Party for Small Business and Sole Traders are on sale now! Please, be that person, tap another business on the shoulder who could do with this great night out!
Why did business owners book a ticket to last years’ event:
“To meet likeminded people”
“To network and have an enjoyable evening”
“ support, connection, inspiration”
“To crack bon bons with like business owners”
Some of the responses from last year’s party:
“Great food and good company”
“I liked the speaker, the music and the setting”
“I like the inspiration, the connection, and meeting new people”
“I liked Sean Gordon (last year’s speaker), the venue and conversation”
Get in for a good business night out. Purchase your tickets here
