BCCI announces Peter Taylor as President

Written on the 29 June 2016

Peter Taylor has been elected President of the BCCI, having accepted a nomination by the Board to lead the Chamber until its AGM in November this year.

Peter and his family moved to Broome in Broome in 1992.  He has worked in a number of senior operational management roles in the resources industry in the Kimberley, spent time in the real estate sector in Broome and has developed a number of commercial properties through his family company, Kennedy House PL.  Peter is passionate about the need to create the right environment for small and medium businesses to grow and prosper in Broome as they are the drivers of the local economy and provide jobs and opportunities particularly for the hundreds of young people and young families looking to make their futures in the region.

"Broome has a wealth of natural advantages not least of which is it's sense of community and it's liveability which must be protected. Whilst business conditions are challenging, the cycle will turn and Broome will inevitably continue to grow and provide the opportunities which have been part of Broome's enduring attraction."  "The next cycle will bring new challenges and it is vital that businesses continually review and question their business models, systems and service focus to ensure they can take advantage of the rapidly changing world."

"The Broome Chamber of Commerce is going through this process now to ensure it remains relevant to it's growing membership as well as taking a lead role in the community as a strong advocate for Broome business.  I look forward to working with the Board and our Chief Executive Officer, Jael Napper, over the next few months to make sure we are always ready for the future."

Peter is currently also chairperson of Kimberley Personnel, a NFP organization dedicated to assisting people with barriers to employment find long term job opportunities.
