Greater Shepparton Business Centre has been nurturing small businesses locally for a number of years and has experienced a lot of success in assisting new businesses to get established enough to move out.
Greater Shepparton City Council Manager Investment Attraction, Geraldine Christou said while this might seem a strange aim for the Business Centre it is actually a measure of its success.
“We are happy to see small businesses develop and grow at the Business Centre, it’s a little sad to see them go, but at the same time it is exciting to see a business grow enough to need to move into their own premises,” said Ms Christou.
“The Greater Shepparton Business Centre has had excellent tenants in Construct Drafting. They have been tenants since 2010 but now that their business has grown and they employ more people, they have moved into their own premises.”
Construct Drafting owner Daryl Smith said “The Business Centre certainly suited our needs at the time but now we have outgrown the office and have moved into our new premises. We have increased our business from one employee to three and we do a lot of work in the Melbourne commercial sector”.
“The Business Centre was helpful when I was first setting up the business. I found the seminars they ran throughout the year useful and they suited my business. These are great for new businesses to attend,” said Mr Smith.
“This year we have welcomed new tenants as they begin their small business journey with us. All Custom Glass and Aluminum and Concrete Culture Australia have moved into our industrial sheds, and Nabenet and AgPro Consulting Pty Ltd are operating from our offices” said Ms Christou.
