The Herefordshire and Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce its Member 2 Member Referral Scheme, which is intended to promote business growth and collaboration within the Chamber’s dynamic and diverse business community, whilst giving existing members an exclusive discount to their Membership renewal.

As part of its commitment to supporting local businesses and promoting economic growth in the region, the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce has introduced this innovative scheme to allow members to refer non-member organisations to the Chamber, increasing the Chamber’s business network.

By referring an organisation to the Chamber, your business can get 10% off their next membership in exchange for a successful referral, these referrals can be stacked and are uncapped. With 10 successful referrals, you will receive a 100% discount off your membership fee at your next renewal, this essentially means you could get a yearly membership completely free. Exclusions apply to Patron and Strategic Membership levels.

A successful referral is defined as a: member referring an organisation to the Chamber Membership Team, with that organisation converting into a new Chamber Member. A referral will not count if the referred organisation doesn’t start a new Chamber Membership.

To submit a referral, complete the ‘Member 2 Member Referral’ form in the Members Area on our website, or submit the following details to membership@hwchamber.co.uk:

 

  • Your name.
  • Your company name.
  • Name of the company you wish to refer.
  • Contact name.
  • Contact email address and/or phone number.

A final word on one of my passions: supporting Luctonians Rugby Club, where I am vice chair, who are currently top of their league and the 37th highest ranked club in England. Not bad for a club based around Kingsland, with a population of just 900.

I hope you are all doing well and managed to dodge most of the floods. There is a rumour of more rain to come but hopefully in moderation. Until next time, Mike.
