Published on 08 September 2016

The door to new Asian investment is now open for the Rockhampton Region with the appointment of Young Beamish as the Senior Trade and Investment Executive.

Rockhampton Regional Council created the position to capitalise on opportunities emerging from established relationships with key stakeholders throughout Asia.

With a clear mandate to strengthen trade pathways between Rockhampton and Asian markets, Young will provide assistance to facilitate trade investment across a number of high demand sectors.

With a strong background in international business and trade development, Young will complement the work underway on Council’s Economic Development Strategy.

“I look forward to exploring a number of international investment opportunities across the agricultural, education and tourism sectors to bring tangible new development to the Rockhampton Region,” Young said.

“There are a great number of synergies between Rockhampton’s economic offering and investment demand areas across Asia.”

Young is available to help local businesses explore or expand into the Asian market.

“My role will be to act as a conduit for businesses thinking of exporting products and services, and to profile business investment opportunities in the Region,” she said.

“I invite businesses who fall within these categories to get in touch to identify potential markets and how to move forward.  

“We want to identify who is ready to explore and expand exports to Asia and provide assistance in facilitating trade development.

“We have some well established relationships with our Sister City and with Singapore and now is the time to take these relationships to the next level.”
