	What’s happening in Croydon Park
	Welcome CPBC 2023! Thank you to the new CPBC Board volunteering their time for 2023. As we know it has been a very difficult time in the past 3. years. In 2014 CPBC won a prestigious Award for collaboration of Business with Community; against large Chambers of Commerce, and put Croydon Park on the map. This recognition could not have happened without the tireless volunteer work of all the Board Members since the first meeting in 2001. The CPBC always believed that the interaction of the community is a very important part of Small Business to survive. This collaboration helps Small Business to be long standing and creates a village atmosphere with a welcomed customer service with a smile. An Award was given to the first Board Members for the pioneering work for the Croydon Park Business Community and setting the foundation for the Croydon Park Chamber of Commerce. Since then Croydon Park Business Chamber as it is now called has Awarded: Citizen Of The Year. Road Runner Of The Year. In Appreciation Of Support To CPBC For Business and Community.

You might know Boost Juice as it is today, with 680+ stores across 13 countries, but this didn’t happen overnight. Throughout my journey I have had many people ask me…’what did you do to create that level of success?’ Along the way I’ve had my fair share of wins, losses and lessons, and uncovered plenty of secrets I wish I knew when I started out. I’m ready to share my story, along with all of the lessons and secrets I collected along the way, with you at The Entrepreneurs’ Unconvention on Thursday 10 March 2022. I hope my story will resonate with business owners who think unconventionally and march to the beat of their own drum. I can’t wait to share all of this with you.
