Business Singleton Announces 2026/27 Board of Directors

Business Singleton held its Annual General Meeting in conjunction with its Business Breakfast on Thursday, 29th October 2026, at Singleton Diggers, York Street Singleton.

The meeting saw strong engagement from members and a full board of nominations received reflecting a renewed enthusiasm and confidence in the Chamber’s direction and commitment to supporting local business.

Elected as President for the 2026/27 year is Anita White (Casse Consulting), joined by Vice President Adele Cashion (Ourcare), Secretary Maxine Smith (Jo Bailey Quality Care), and Treasurer De-Arne O’Toole (Ink Financial Solutions).

Joining the Executive Team on the Board are Aislinn Farnon (United Wambo), Laura Kelly (Singleton Hospitality Group), Karen McRae (Wine Country Lavender), and Sally-Anne Trappel (Phoenix Outdoor & Power Equipment).

In presenting her address as President, Mrs White acknowledged the growth of the chamber and an involved business community who is engaged in a time of economic and social challenges.

“Business Singleton has brought businesses, community members and key stakeholders together to consider how Singleton can strengthen its visitor economy, encourage local spending and ensure the town remains a destination rather than simply a place people pass through,” she said.

The newly elected Board will meet in November to begin planning initiatives for the year ahead, building on the Chamber’s strong foundation of collaboration, engagement, and community leadership.
