The 2023 BPW Caboolture and Surrounds Business Showcase.

The 2023 BPW Caboolture and Surrounds Business Showcase saw an impressive turnout of local businesses and community members, who came together to participate in this business-to-business and business-to-community event.

The business-to-business and business-to-community event was also attended and supported by Hon Dianne (Di) Farmer, Minister for Employment and Small Business, Minister for Training and Skills Development and Minister for Youth Justice; Hon Mark Ryan, Minister for Police and Corrective Services and Minister for Fire and Emergency Services; Mr Terry Young MP, Member for Longman; and Councillor Adam Hain, Moreton Bay Regional Councillor for Division 3.

The event, aimed at promoting and celebrating local businesses, played a pivotal role in fostering connections within the community. Attendees praised the initiative, emphasising its significance for small local businesses. One business owner remarked, “This type of event for us is imperative.”

By creating an environment that encourages collaboration and networking, the showcase facilitated valuable business-to-business interactions, enabling local business owners to forge new partnerships and explore growth opportunities. Another business participant shared their experience, stating, “It gets businesses together, it gets them out in front of everyone, it allows us to connect with our community.”

Meanwhile, BPW Caboolture Lifetime Member, Joy Leishman, rationalised that the success of the expo was down to local businesses getting behind the event.

“The real heroes are the stall holders who were with us last year, have followed us this year and, of course, we have so many more,” Leishman said in the video above. “That’s the real true legends of the expo.”

The positive feedback from local businesses and community members underscores the importance of initiatives like the BPW Caboolture and Surrounds Business Showcase. By offering a platform for businesses to thrive and encouraging engagement between local business owners, these events contribute to the growth and vitality of the local business community.
