25.01.2022 Let’s stay strong!

24.01.2022 The wonderful H2H Studios images taken at our recent networking event at Buderim Tavern are up on the Sunshine Coast Daily website to view. Here's the cover story 'The who's who of business in Buderim caught up at the 4556 Chamber of Commerce networking event this month. Members and guests were keen to return to face-to-face contact at the Buderim Tavern function room on August 18 after COVID-19 restricted networking for several months.... The focus of the event was to give business owners a chance to connect with each other, meet some new faces, catch up on what's been happening this last few months and regroup. "Owning and operating a business can be a lonely place but it doesn't have to be," said 4556 Chamber committee member Leanne Layfield. "Having a network of colleagues across the business spectrum is usually inspiring and uplifting." The 4556 Chamber will join the Caloundra Chamber of Commerce for their next networking event at Strawberry Fields at 5.30pm on Wednesday, September 23.

23.01.2022 Well done Jaz Realty Buderim on your initiative to help Bloomhill Cancer Care this Christmas. Your signature Bentley with Santa's sleigh full of presents is a welcome sight in our community. This festive season Bloomhill Cancer Care is calling on the community to donate to their 2020 Christmas Appeal. Last financial year alone, Bloomhill actively supported 1,136 clients - providing over 11 thousand occasions of nursing, allied health and complementary therapy care. All of... this is made possible thanks to YOU. Please give generously to Bloomhill this festive season so that they can be there for you and your loved ones when you need them most. www.bloomhill.com.au/donate

21.01.2022 On RUOK Day, this is a timely video to share for business owners who might be experiencing financial distress. You can share your circumstances confidentially and without judgement to the Small Business Financial Counsellor for the Sunshine Coast. Kylie is delivering counselling and support under the Rural Financial Counselling Service Southern Queensland small business program. If you are COVID-19 affected and need help, now is the time to share your struggle with someone. Please share this message with anyone you know who might need support.

21.01.2022 Did you know we have a real Christmas tree distributor right here in 4556. Kunda Park is full of surprises

21.01.2022 We're going to feature each of our new members who attended the Strawberry Fields event this week. It takes a bit of spunk to step out into a crowd when you're new so we're going to reward you all for that with a shout out. Let's now all meet Lisa Listama and her business Sparkle E-Learning. Lisa established Sparkle E-Learning in 2018 to expand her public sector e-learning experience into the private world.... As an instructional designer and e-learning developer for the Australian Government, Lisa recognised the large cost associated with building e-learning courses. These costs alienated small businesses which need training as much as their large counterparts. Over her years in the public service, Lisa completed over 100 e-learning courses and was never excited or energised by their interaction, imagery or design. As such, Lisa decided things had to change and Sparkle E-Learning was born. Bringing cost effective and spunky design into one place, Lisa delivers vibrant, customisable training solutions to companies big and small. There are some great blog posts on the company website with advice and tools for anyone thinking of reworking or creating some truly engaging and effective training programs. www.sparkleelearning.com

18.01.2022 A look back at the Combined Chambers Christmas Celebration last Thursday at NightQuarter. Thank you to all of our members who made it to the biggest networking night of the year and made it so energetic and vibrant. The wonderful spirit of the night shows in these awesome pics from Yourbrandcrew. Special thanks to Kawana Chamber of Commerce who were the lead event organiser.

18.01.2022 Have you wandered along the Buderim-Palmwoods Heritage Tramway Walk between Telco Road Buderim and Forest Glen. It's a fabulous nature walk that not difficult especially if you stop to appreciate the beauty all around you. A great place to soak up some fresh air and let nature wrap her arms around you.

18.01.2022 Christmas can be a lonely or difficult time thinking of loved ones who are no longer here. Bloomhill Cancer Care ,like many others at this time of the year, will hold a Remembrance Service and you're welcome to attend. While it's not easy, it's easier to know that you are not alone with your thoughts and feelings. 'The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not 'get over' the loss of a loved one: you will learn to live with it. you will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same nor would you want to" Elisabeth Kubler Ross

Vote for your favourite www.4556chamber.com.au/getglitzed Here's what Hayley & Darren shared with us that we felt worth sharing with you: We love the whole build-up of the Christmas display promotion & love showing how, bit by bit, our window comes together with a little paint & ideas, using upcycled pieces & saving the planet at the... same time The preparation for the window starts weeks before on our social media, showing our ideas & what we have planned - so the Christmas grapevine can get twittering about how good Christmas is going to be in Buderim early! Haha We hope it provides inspiration & encourage others to go the extra mile with their windows each year.... We truly believe this promotion will get bigger every time & in return the Buderim Christmas display windows will be the talk of the town & become a huge tourist attraction in the future! We hand painted everything in the window, the pine cones, bureau, urns, dog, mirror, grandfather clock & chair

08.01.2022 Jaz Realty are one of the Christmas Glitz businesses and they are doing it a bit differently to everyone else.

The Bentley is driven by Santa (Rick Hoy) with his two Elf helpers in the back (Molly the dog) and Jaz Hoy . Jaz & Rick will be in Buderim on Thursday nights between 7pm and 8pm (the last Thursday is 24...th, Christmas Eve) handing out candy canes and a little Christmas music and magic. In between times, you might spot them around the region as they present gifts to children involved at Lily House and at Bloomhill. They are also at Coles and Bunnings on certain days helping Mooloolaba Lions with their annual cake and pudding sale and will also be at the Fisherman's Road Markets on Sunday 20th.

06.01.2022 There’s a lot of changes in the local cafe scene going on. Many cafes have changed (or are changing) ownership and several vacant spaces renovated with new businesses opening up. It’s exciting to see the changes and the fresh energy that’s coming through. At the other end of the spectrum, there’s changes to menus to reflect summer season produce and temperatures! We popped into Chamber members Aomori for some fresh, healthy and tasty sushi and Asian. They’ve introduced a n...ew menu too.

05.01.2022 Love sharing stories of our members and what motivated them to start their business and the journey that they've been on. What starts with inspiration quickly turns to perspiration. We applaud all of the good work going on around us.

05.01.2022 Want to take your team out for a treat after the months of slog this year or maybe it’s your top clients you want to say thank you too? Here’s the chance to do just that and have a ton of fun at the races with them. Bloomhill are looking for three more corporate sponsors of their Raceday at Sunshine Coast Turf Club. This is a great opportunity to do something wonderful on many levels. Contact Nikki to lock and load this.

05.01.2022 Thank you Suzanne for all of your wonderful years of business service on top in Buderim! We are going to miss you and Gingers Boutique but it's great news that your boutique in The Wharf Mooloolaba is open and we can still catch you there. This time last year you were up to your eyeballs leading the Christmas campaign to shop locally on behalf of all of the traders. That was a huge effort that went on for weeks. Thank you for your drive and effort that was never about Gingers but about the local business community. We're sure you will be just as involved down by the waterside in future.

05.01.2022 We're pleased to support this road show across Queensland including an event on the Sunshine Coast on Dec 2nd.

There are always things to know to help your journey and tools that you can use to improve your chance of success. That's where this seminar comes in as it will give you the strategies that you need to improve your prospects. It's worth investing your time to attend as the rewards can be great if you win government business on an ongoing basis. The event is FREE and at Nambour RSL.
