About Us
|
 Croydon Chamber of Commerce & Industry was born in Main Street Croydon in 1951as the brainchild of the commercial traders of the time, led by Mr George Pile and including Mr Norm Murphy, amongst others. Both of these gentlemen remain loyal and faithful supporters of CCCI.
Since CCCI's insemption, there have been various changes that have taken place. In recent times these have been:-
-In 1999 under the Presidency of Mr Chris Varty (CEO, Mark Stevens Fine Furniture), the then Committee of Management determined to shift the paradigm operating within Chamber at that time, so as to better serve it's industry members.
-Due to this ensuing expansion, it became obvious that a geographically bound Chamber was no longer appropriate so at the AGM in 2000, under direction of President, Denis Grehan, (CEO, Maroondah Credit Union) CCCI formally changed its constitution to accommodate a region-wide approach to representation and membership.
-By 2001, under direction of President Glen Walker (Operations Manager, Kenworth Trucks), CCCI's financial membership had reached record levels. 3500 affiliated members had been added and membership was sprinkled throughout Melbourne's outer Eastern region. Also in this year, CCCI became the longest surviving recipient of Sponsorship by Leader Community Newspapers for their weekly newspaper column Chamber Chat in the "Leader Maroondah" local paper. This Chamber Chat still runs on a weekly basis informing our members of current topical issues.
At present CCCI is offering its members many exciting benefits and are looking forward to developing other areas of benefit in 2007.
CCCI membership is inexpensive and represents great VALUE for money, as well as being the mark of a business which is committed to the Maroondah business community.
