We had a fantastic Business After Hours event last night hosted by South West Transportables Kellivale Estate and Capelberry Cafe.

Thanks to those that came and networked. It’s great to bring business owners together to connect and support each other.

Congratulations to Nicola from Full Fat Consulting for winning the door prize.

Look out for more networking events in the future. If anyone would like to host a Business After Hours at their business, let us know.
