The Surry Hills Business Partnership is a non-profit organisation established to promote Surry Hills as a creative cluster, cultural hub and the best place to do business for creative, professional and all businesses in Sydney. We are a rich collective comprised of like-minded local businesses committed to seeing Surry Hills and its businesses flourish; to promote and advocate for the area and its needs. We seek to highlight and encourage the area's vitality; support new partnerships; to bring new projects to fruition: to have Surry Hills as a recognised international destination for outstanding design, experience and business operations. The Surry Hills Business Partnership (SHBP) is also the first Chamber of Commerce of Surry Hills, we are now able to offer not for profit status to all projects under our banner resulting in access to a world of new collaborations and funding sources. SHBP has a number of high level projects underway to bring real knowledge and understanding to how we can support the area's businesses. One of our projects is about developing strategy to provide businesses with marketing support and develop networks and opportunities for collaborations. Research will enable the precinct to determine what needs businesses require to enable them to grow into the future. SHBP believes that the creative industries are the lifeblood of Surry Hills and it is through nurturing and promoting these industries that a vibrant and creative village precinct will continue to thrive and make the city a more appealing place to live, work and visit. All business owners, managers, freelancers, professionals, start-ups and individuals are welcome to get involved with the Surry Hills Business Partnership (SHBP), alongside the SHBP board members, to support and promote creativity in Surry Hills.
