May 3, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s not every day that a bunch of people file into a cinema to watch a string of ads, but that’s exactly what happened at the Satellite Cinema in Kingaroy on Friday.<\/p>\n

The group of business owners were previewing new video ads made for their companies by local businesswoman Tina Torrens.<\/p>\n

Tina is very proud of the expansion of her business, Torkit Business Solutions, into cinema advertising, hence the special preview night (complete with popcorn).<\/p>\n

Businesses included Beauty Finesse, Framed With Style, Karate 4 Kids, Like Home Early Learning Centre, Kingaroy Brake, Radiator and Mechanical Service; \u00a0St Mary’s Catholic College, and Clearpath Information Systems.<\/p>\n

Tina and her business expansion was one of the featured talks at the “Small Business In A Day” workshop held the day before at the Kingaroy Town Hall Reception Room.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tina explained to the audience how her business had started and grown, and how the decision to employ a staff member had made all the difference.<\/p>\n

Other guest speakers at the business forum included Josh Gadischke, from Proteco, who last year launched a $3.2 million expansion of his plant in Kingaroy; \u00a0James Eckart, from Cyonic Computers in Kingaroy; and BIEDO chief executive officer Kristy Frahm.<\/p>\n

The free workshop was sponsored by the State Government\u2019s Office of Small Business.<\/p>\n

There was also an opportunity for participants to have no-obligation one-on-one sessions with business mentors.<\/p>\n
