2024 Yarriambiack Business Expo

 


Tuesday 25th June 2024 at the Warracknabeal Town Hall

We celebrated the launch day for West Vic Business Yarriambiack, and we’re excited!
The Yarriambiack Business Expo was the place to be in Warracknabeal, and with a packed house, we welcomed the Victorian Small Business Commissioner, Donald Mineral Sands, Spark Strategy, the Telstra Regional Team, WSM Rural Finance Counselling Service, JMJ – EA for a Day and Dimboola Imaginarium to the speaker platform
Yarriambiack Shire Council turned out an incredible feed provided by The General Store Warracknabeal and ensured that everything was done both with ease and incredible support. Donald Mineral Sands kindly provided amazingly delicious and much needed complimentary coffees to all attendees. Shout out to the team at Guy’s Coffee.
We now welcome all member enquiries from across Yarriambiack shire, and invite business owners to contact us on 0423 200 332 with any questions, or direct membership applications to https://westvicbusiness.com.au/memberships/
