Business leaders learnt about cyber safety in a sold out Noosa Business Association (NBA) breakfast at Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club (NYRC) on Thursday 25 May.
The morning began with a barista coffee by Zimba and a delicious breakfast prepared by the NYRC Team.
Norbert Heinl and Karl Brockman from Queensland Computers gave the crowd a few tips on how to keep a business safe from cyber attacks, while NBA President Tim Rook provided business leaders with key updates.
Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart gave a shout out to Caroline Edginton from Noosaville Business Association in her speech.
“Caroline does so much of the heavy lifting in this space. She does so much work and provides such great support for all our Noosa businesses,” she said.
With more 7000 small businesses in the Noosa Shire, Ms Stewart said they are the back-bone of the community.
“They provide the local jobs, the local employment and they put food on the table for so many families in our shire. The last few years have been incredibly tough on small business,” she said.
“As politicians we worry about social media and what people are saying about us but you guys worry about where the next dollar is coming from. And you have to worry about where the next dollar is coming from because no one is paying your wage, you’re paying your own and often you’re responsible for many others. So it’s so important to acknowledge all of you.
“Data from Tourism Noosa is showing that visitor numbers are slightly slowing, but businesses remain positive. The Noosa brand is very strong and we will bounce back and overcome any challenge. On the back of that optimism I really would encourage you to enter the Small Business Awards. They just get better and better every year.”
