On 6 February, Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce members had the opportunity to meet with Jesse Norman MP and Ellie Chowns MP during the Chamber’s MPQ sessions.
The event offered a valuable forum for businesses across the county to discuss key issues affecting the local economy, including business support, regeneration, skills development, connectivity, and infrastructure such as rivers and roads.
The Chamber’s policy role — advocating for and representing its members — was clearly demonstrated, with members able to raise concerns directly with their MPs. The discussions were further strengthened by Ben Martin of the British Chambers of Commerce, ensuring that engagement with Whitehall and Westminster reflects the real priorities and challenges of local businesses.
These MPQ sessions underline the Chamber’s commitment to giving members a strong voice in shaping regional and national policy, fostering meaningful dialogue between businesses and decision-makers.
