MEET THE FOUNDER
Hi, I'm Suzy!
Like many of us I passionately love our region! I'm creating an online magazine style blog and business directory here, with lots of great stories to come about places, faces and behind the scenes of people in our region from all walks of life.
I'm ex-media & PR and I've got heaps of great stories to share and lots of fabulous people to interview, plus a ton of awesome support from many business owners. So excited!
Hurstbridge Region is growing across Instagram and Facebook – if you're not already, please follow along. Join our newsletter list for updates!
I've been supporting clients with marketing and social media (including Hurstbridge Village) for the last few years via my business Jaeger Communications.
I've now created Hurstbridge Region as a vehicle to help promote and connect local business owners within a 30-minute radius, through the HBR Business Group.

empowering ourselves without the red tape
The HBR Business Group was created to bring together the kind of business owners who roll up their sleeves, get things done and genuinely back each other.
No red tape.
No endless committees.
No sitting around talking in circles.
Just real connection, real support and real opportunities to grow.
Through monthly in-person meetups, website directory listings, social media promotion, business stories, reels, newsletters and extra promotional opportunities.
HBR is here to help local businesses get more connection, more exposure and more customers in their local neighbourhood and beyond.
It doesn’t matter what kind of business you run.
If you’re serious about survival, growth, connection and being around other action-takers, there’s a place for you here.
Because sometimes the right conversation, connection or spark of energy can make all the difference, not just to your bottom line, but to your headspace too.
Lots of great local stories coming
