President’s Welcome

As an ever changing environment and over 150 years of history I am honoured to lead and serve the business community of the Shepparton region during this time of significant global uncertainty, transition and underlying change throughout the region’s corporate and industrial landscape.

Within this landscape, the region has propelled itself forward through innovation and the reinvention of many traditional business and industry sectors within our region.

Of upmost priority to the Chamber is to deliver value and representation to its members and corporate partners. In particular the Chamber will continue to strongly support and engage in continuous dialogue with the many micro and small to medium sized businesses in the region.

Sincerely,

John Anderson,

Shepparton Chamber of Commerce & Industry President
