Newcastle Business Club was established in 1933 and today is one of the Hunter’s most successful and influential clubs attracting wide and varied representatives of the Newcastle and Hunter business sector.
Since its establishment, Newcastle Business Club, has been the forum for organisations, government and business people to make public announcements of matters of importance and relevance to the Newcastle and Hunter community. The Newcastle Business Club also provides its members with the opportunity to expand their business contacts while hearing quality guest speakers at luncheon meetings. Often confused with the Newcastle Club, you don’t have to be invited to attend or join the Newcastle Business Club. We meet at either Harbourview Function Centre or Newcastle City Hall.
Becoming president of the Newcastle Business Club was a personal goal of mine since becoming a member in 2008, it is a great honour to have led this organisation rich in tradition. The networking opportunities and people I have been able to meet through the club that I wouldn’t have ordinarily been able to meet in my day to day business has been priceless. Having completed my year as President in 2014, I was fortunate enough to be elected to the committee for another 4 years assisting the Club with setting up for events, sponsoring and assisting with sourcing speakers.
During the last 7 years on the committee I have the honour of meeting past prime minister John Howard, TV Personalities Lisa Wilkinson, Naomi Simson & Dr Glen Richards, Lord Mayors & Mayors, Police Commissioner Scipione & RFS Commissioner Shane Fitzgibbons as well as sporting identities such as Michael Hagan, Kurt Fearnley & Mark Waugh.
I look forward to attending as a regular member and past president so I can enjoy networking with the members.
