What they say about us
Elisa Grant
Scooda
“I was recently interviewed by Caroline from BayTalk for their podcast and it was a great experience. Although it wasn’t the first time I had been interviewed and I’m not afraid of public speaking, it was my first podcast so I was unsure of what to expect. I was made to feel comfortable in the lead up and on the day itself by Caroline and ended up really enjoying the process. I was also pretty impressed by the result too!”
Don Bastone
“Finally got to meet with Caroline. She is down to earth and has a real passion for trying to bring the community and business together. Whilst the website etc. is only in its infancy, it will grow fairly rapidly in the coming months and will be a great hub in getting to know some of our business identities in the area”
Paul Scalese

“A great way to keep up to date with what’s happening in the area. Caroline is a lovely person who really cares about the area. Myself and my wife met with Caroline for a chat a few months back. Was a pleasure to meet and chat.”

“Joining BayTalk was the best business decision I have made this year. Caroline has done wonders promoting my business in the local community. Caroline is not only supportive but she will go above and beyond for her members. I not only have gained clients through BayTalk but I have become part of a network of local businesses through regular BayTalk meet ups. Definitely worth joining up.”
