Member testimonials
-
The Chamber has been supporting businesses across the region for over 200 years and we think being part of that is pretty special.
Samuel Knight is passionate about the North East and wants to play its part in helping it to thrive. Being a Chamber member allows us to connect with over 2,500 other business throughout the region, sharing our collective knowledge and experience. Being a member also means we can gain access to the Chamber’s extensive events programme and online community, which provides great value.
In recent day’s I’ve attended two Chamber events and on both occasions came away feeling that I’d made connections with some fantastic businesses and most importantly the wonderful business personal. The online event was very well structured and gave each business the chance to say a few words and have had the opportunity to divulge what we can all offer as people and as companies. I look forward to long prosperous relationships with the brilliant people I have met in the Chamber events I have attended.
“The pandemic left us assessing everything, but my team have found real benefits from accessing the online tools provided by the Chamber during lockdown.”
