Liverpool Council says it wants to back small businesses grow and thrive.
As part of that, says Liverpool Mayor Ned Mannoun, the council is taking a proactive role during the annual Small Business Week, which this year is being held during September 14-18.
“There are some really great events designed to help small business in Liverpool,’’ says Mr Mannoun.
They include Working Lunch hosted by Deloitte, this Thursday, September 17, 12pm- 2pm at Liverpool Hospital. This seminar will target professional, financial and advisory specialists.
This seminar will feature Alex Sanchez, an Associate Director at Deloitte Access Economics’ Western Sydney Office in Parramatta.

He also lectures at the University of Western Sydney and as both an Economist and resident of Liverpool, Mr Sanchez has a strong understanding of Sydney’s South West regional development.
Mr Sanchez will be presenting on the economic opportunities and risks for Liverpool and Sydney’s South West with an emphasis on the opportunities arising from Badgerys Creek Airport.
