TORQUAY Commerce and Tourism will be rebranding, with the peak Torquay traders’ association to announce its new name as part of next month’s Geelong Small Business Festival.<\/p>\n
However, the GSBF online calendar has given the game away, with the August 22 event listed as “Rebrand of Commerce Torquay”.<\/p>\n
TCT vice-president Robert Skehan announced the organisation’s intentions to rebrand at last week’s Localised Meetup at Peppers The Sands Resort.<\/p>\n
He said TCT had been doing a lot of research over the past six to eight months, led by president Jeff Crow.<\/p>\n
“He’s been out there talking to our key stakeholders, key businesses in and around Torquay to find out exactly what businesses want from their local traders’ association.<\/p>\n
“All of that’s coming together at this event.”<\/p>\n
He said the August 22 event at Bird Rock in Jan Juc from 5.30-7pm unfortunately clashed with the Geelong Chamber of Commerce’s After 5 event, but noted that Mr Crow was also the owner of Torquay business Bells Beach Brewing and would donate some barrels of beer to his event.<\/p>\n
“We will then let everybody know what we’ve found – we’re basically rebranding the organisation – and that will happen in a public sense on August 22, so please come along.”<\/p>\n
