What our Members Say:
“Our relationship with the Chamber goes back many years, however it’s only been in the last 4 years we have really got involved and participated in many of the activities and the benefits have been fantastic, just being part of some of the events has connected us to organisations we would have never come into contact with and has led to new contracts. In one instance a casual conversation at a Chamber dinner led to over £500k worth of business.
Recently we have become a Patron member, this has seen even more benefits, being a part of a smaller group who can share knowledge and help with contacts and networking has again widened our visibility across the region and beyond.
The old saying of “you only get out what you put into” is still very true today. The chamber is an enabler, it connects organisations and helps to promote knowledge and best practice. But we recognised we have to play our part by being involved and supporting the programme of activities, whether sponsoring an award of hosting a networking event, it’s a small price to pay for the return.“
– Dale Parmenter, DRPG
