Macleay Valley Business Chamber is a business support organisation that represents, informs and connects the local business community.
The Chamber advocates on behalf of members to help protect business interests in Kempsey and beyond, promote a positive and strong economy and provide a secure future for the Macleay Valley.
The Macleay Valley has undergone many progressive changes in recent years that continue to enhance the lifestyle and prosperity of our region and at the same time retain our region’s natural assets that are the foundation of our traditional farming and tourism industries.
Businesses with established reputations, new dynamic start-ups, family businesses and national and multinational interests are increasingly focusing on the Macleay Valley and its unique position in the Mid North Coast NSW economy.
We invite you to become a participating member of the Macleay Valley Business Chamber as we work together to build confidence, business acumen and strengthen networks all squarely aimed at increasing the Macleay’s business growth and economic development.
