AAC Hedland staff members Michelle Kivits, Genelle Smith, and Kelly Gould recently attended the grand opening of the South Hedland Tradie Hub in Wedgefield, organised by The Port Hedland Chamber of Commerce and Industry. This much-anticipated co-working space aims to cater to the needs of local tradespeople, and its inauguration saw the presence of numerous local business owners, politicians, and community members.

It offers a comprehensive range of services designed to support their professional endeavours, including workshops, networking opportunities, small business coaching, and dedicated workshop space. The hub aims to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange among tradespeople, enabling them to grow their businesses and enhance their skills.
One enthusiastic attendee was Rex Hughes, the owner of RC Upholstery, who is currently operating from the AAC Harwell site.

By bringing together tradespeople from various disciplines under one roof, the hub has the potential to foster synergies and facilitate the exchange of ideas. The networking opportunities offered at the hub will undoubtedly contribute to the creation of a supportive and thriving community, where tradespeople can connect, learn from one another, and explore potential collaborations.
In addition to the workshops and networking events, the hub will also provide valuable small business coaching sessions. These sessions will equip tradespeople with essential skills and knowledge to navigate the challenges of running a business successfully. With access to expert guidance and mentorship, local tradespeople will be better equipped to overcome obstacles, develop effective strategies, and achieve long-term growth and sustainability.
Moreover, the availability of dedicated workshop space within the hub will be a game-changer for tradespeople requiring a professional and well-equipped environment to carry out their work. This aspect of the Tradie Hub is expected to enhance productivity and efficiency, enabling tradespeople to undertake their projects with greater ease and effectiveness.
Overall, the establishment of the South Hedland Tradie Hub marks an exciting development for the local trades community. By providing a centralised and comprehensive support system, the hub aims to empower tradespeople, boost their businesses, and contribute to the economic growth of the region.
