2020-21 Executive Committee Nominees

Having worked in the Maroochydore CBD for almost 30 years, I am well-placed to be aware of the issues that require attention.

We've worked hard to strengthen the chamber's financial position over the last couple of years. Scott would like to finish the job and believes he can help do that as the Treasurer.

Scott joined the Chamber’s Executive Committee in 2017. He has 25 years of IT/Accounting and Management experience, along with board-level experience with various businesses and not-for-profit organisations. He is passionate about helping small businesses improve their efficiency, sustainability and profitability.
Scott lives for the day when more Sunshine Coast micro and small businesses are thriving in the global marketplace.

Over the past 5 years Scott has been the brains behind some notable Hospitality brands such as Junk Restaurant, Hello Harry and Donut Boyz. Recently Scott was integral in forming the Ocean Street Precinct Association who co-ordinates the popular Ocean Street Entertainment Precinct which he holds the position of President. In additional to this, Scott is a member of the board at Major Events which advised Sunshine Coast Council on their Major Event Sponsorship along with being the Maroochydore region’s representative on the Regional Sub-Committee for Visit Sunshine Coast

Peppi would like to continue the positive work the Chamber has undertaken over the past few years through my networks and skillset.

Peppi has over 20 years experience as a communications and marketing professional working on projects ranging from large master planned communities and infrastructure projects through to SMEs and not for profit groups.

Peppi moved to the Sunshine Coast in 2001 working for Lensworth on the Kawana Waters master plan development as the communications and marketing manager. In November 2011 Peppi became the Director of Queensland Advertising and Public Relations servicing a broad range of property development clients

Fran has a comprehensive financial services background across consulting, sales and service roles with the result being strong communication skills and a genuine interest in helping professional contractors, recruiters and corporate clients improve how they operate and enhance procedures and achievements.

Paul is stepping up again from being on the committee in 2019.

Paul is the Executive Manager of McBerns Pty.Ltd. This is a business that has served the Sunshine Coast region, the wider business community and abroad for the last 28 years in the Sewer and Water space.
His experience extends across hands on Electrical Maintenance, Technical support, Project Management of Application Engineering in Industrial Automation, Management of Sales and Engineering staff, conducted and developed Training programs.

The Sunshine Coast was my childhood holiday destination and has been home since 2011. Having embraced a career across Management, Sales and Marketing both locally, interstate and internationally, the Sunshine Coast is now my passion. In my current role as Community / General Manager of The Hive, a division of Pratt Property, my main focus is my network and introducing local business for success. The Hive is also home to our regions Chamber Alliance, Sunshine Coast Young Chamber of Commerce and more so getting involved more excites me now time permits. I hope you also see the value I do of my return to the exec.
