Coffs Harbour Business Forum Kicks Off 2025 Event Series

The first MTA NSW Business Forum for 2025 was held in Coffs Harbour on 22 October, bringing together local automotive business owners, managers, and industry professionals for an evening of insight, connection, and opportunity.

Hosted at Korora, the event launched our new series of business forums designed to help members and the wider automotive community maximise business potential, improve efficiency, and prepare for future growth.

Attendees heard from an impressive lineup of speakers, including Kirt O’Dea (Commonwealth Bank), Simon Latchford (City of Coffs Harbour), Stavros Yallouridis (CEO, MTA NSW), Jason Steporowski (GM Membership and Sales, MTA NSW), and Stephen Jenkins (General Counsel & Head of Employment Relations, MTA NSW). Presentations covered topics such as business financing, local industry development, member services, and the latest updates in workplace and regulatory compliance.

The evening also provided valuable networking opportunities, with guests enjoying drinks, canapés, and lively conversation in a relaxed setting. To top it off, attendees had the chance to win an exclusive $2,500 tool prize pack, proudly sponsored by Total Tools Coffs Harbour.

The success of the Coffs Harbour forum sets the stage for more MTA NSW Business Forums across the state, aimed at supporting and strengthening the automotive industry through shared knowledge, collaboration, and community.
