WELCOME
Valley Business Group has been created as an innovative conduit for the networking and collaboration of local businesses here in the Clarence Valley. Our group is focused on providing its associates with real, tangible connections and collaborative opportunities with local business.
​
Our Team is made up of industry leaders with both experience and drive for not only their own industries but for the local economy as a whole. A group of volunteers who will take on the roles within VBG to not only push our local businesses forward but to support them and encourage collaboration and networking that leads to growth and innovation for our region.
This Grafton Team of the Valley Business Group will initially be focused on Grafton and surrounds without exclusivity. Our aim is to spend 2024 perfecting the Groups functions and creating a strong network before promoting the establishment of other Teams of Valley Business Group around the Clarence Valley. We will then provide our infrastructure and knowledge to the foundling Teams as they are created and build the Valley Business Group into a larger symbiotic family of Teams that will span the Clarence Valley region.

WHAT CAN WE DO FOR YOU?
HOW WE PLAN TO SUPPORT OUR ASSOCIATES.
Our Associates will be the foundation of our entire group. We have taken all our collective experiences and created a group where we can accomodate all types of business from home-based to corporate entities. Our main focus and goal to create a network of businesses who will be known to each other and be able to create meaningful relationships to further each others goals.
We will be providing a range of events which will cater to the many different sectors of the Valley's economic pulse. Some of our more exclusive events will be made available just to our associates, while mainstream events will be open to the public.
We have created this group not for financial gain but for the benefit of businesses in the Valley. With inclusions that can be tangibly felt within your business, our associates will also have access to the VBG Concierge program which will allow our associates to contact a VBG Concierge about any kind of Collaborate Idea and we can then connect you with a person or business that could help you bring the idea to fruition.
​
​
HOW WE PLAN TO SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESS.
Although our aim will be to further the interests of our Associates, we will also be connecting local businesses with our associates to further collaborate and network with ALL business in the Clarence Valley.
Our mainstream events will be open to ALL businesses and individuals to attend with opportunities to talk with the Board and Associates.
The bigger our network the better we work together for our region as a whole.
