A bumper crowd of thirty five local entrepreneurs joined State Member for Morayfield Mark Ryan at Caboolture’s Revolution Espresso Lounge last Friday morning, for his latest Small Business Network coffee catch-up.

Held every second month, Mark Ryan’s Small Business Network events are designed to keep our local businesses up to date with the range of assistance and opportunities provided by the State Government, as well as presenting a great networking forum.

“These coffee shop networking sessions are proving a great success for our local businesses,” Mr Ryan said.

“This month we discussed the State Government’s Digital Grants, Free TAFE for year 12 graduates and a survey of the vocational education and training sector.

“But the greatest benefit of this network is getting local small businesses in a room to make connections, exchange ideas and, in some cases, find a way to work together.

“We have a really diverse small business sector here in the Caboolture area.

“This month they ranged from medical, radiography and funerals, to hospitality, training and fitness, to name just a few.”
