Update from General Manager December 2023

2023 has been a year of change – and progress – for Wiri Business Association.

 At the start of the year, we moved into our new offices at Earl Richardson Ave, we had our long-term administrator Simone Davis leave for new opportunities after six years and her replacement Diana Viljoen joined us, and we have done a refresh of our Wiri brand and website.

 Along with the introduction of several new projects, this has all served to put us on a strong platform as we head towards 2024.

 Our recent Annual General Meeting was a good opportunity for us to review our achievements over the past 12 months and have a look at what we have planned for the next 12 months.

 The team are now working on initiatives and events for 2024 including a business breakfast with special guest Haydon Paddon, a focus on Emergency Preparedness and Youth Employment opportunities and developing a Transport Management plan to help Wiri businesses and employees.  We look forward to sharing more information about these in the early part of next year.

 We have arranged for daytime P4G security patrols to be in place from Monday 25^th December to Tuesday 2^nd January to help ensure we keep our business district safe and secure.  This is in addition to the normal night-time patrols.

 Our office will be closed from Thursday 21^st December, and we will return refreshed and ready for the new year on Monday 8^th January 2023.

 On behalf of the WBA Board and staff, I wish you all a wonderful holiday break and we look forward to catching up with you in 2024.
