Down the Rabbit Hole with the Simone McGurk
In this episode, Chrissie Goes One on One with Simone McGurk, State Member for Fremantle on Friday 1st March at 12:00pm.
“As a new small business owner, I have often felt overwhelmed at the thought of marketing, social media and networking. I recently joined the Fremantle Chamber of Commerce, and I can’t thank the team enough for their warmth and hospitality when I attended the Speed Networking event on July 20th, 2023. It was well organised, ran smoothly and everyone made me feel very welcomed and at ease. We forget the value of face-to-face networking in a digital world – I met some incredible people, promoted my business and had the opportunity to talk about my passion with like-minded individuals. I’m looking forward to attending more events and becoming part of this supportive community. Thank you.”
