New Business Start Up
New Business Start-Ups
We ran the the City of Sydney Small Business 101 seminars from 2008 until 2015and through this we have met close to 3,000 new start up business operators. Richard delivered all aspects of this program for the City.
Each year he would decide what would be the 'Hot Topics' for business in the city over the next twelve months as well as what the city itself was trying to achieve.
Once these topics were selected, he would then schedule, set agendas and choose relevant speakers to deliver a message of what can be achieved working productively with the city.
Presenters included Small Bar, nudie and Will Young who set up Campos Coffee.
We know small business and have access to an incredible network of experts. It is rare to come across a problem that cannot be solved..
Richard is also an expert on local government and small business interactions, opportunities and communication.
