On August 28, we had the pleasure of connecting with the vibrant Toowoomba business community at our Business Connect event, proudly supported by Mitsubishi Motors Australia.

It was wonderful to see such a strong turnout of local professionals and business leaders, all coming together to share insights, challenges and opportunities ahead, from diversifying businesses in the face of workforce and climate pressures to preparing for future 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games opportunities.

Toowoomba’s role in the Games, as host of the equestrian events, places this region and Queensland on a global stage. But to truly maximise the opportunity, businesses must build resilience through sustainable practices, regional collaboration, workforce development and innovation.

Thank you to our guest speakers, Brad Robinson from Mort & Co and Sharon Duff from HDR Workshop Solutions, who shared valuable insights with our CEO Heidi Cooper into how they are tackling workforce and sustainability challenges.
