Member testimonials

“The events organised by the Chamber have been extremely valuable to us at Glass Digital, particularly networking across the region. We have been able to build relationships with stand-out companies and have even secured a couple of business partnerships off the back of Chamber Local events, hopefully this will work towards growing both our and our partners businesses.
Since becoming members we have also exhibited at the Teesside Expo and North East Expo. Both events were a huge success, putting us in front of complimentary businesses and potential clients. We hope to do many more of this type of brand exercise in future and it is great to have the team at NEECC that can help you along the way.”
“As a local family run business of 95 years, being a member of the Chamber allows us to join with countless businesses and individuals across our region for mutual growth and to influence and see a better change for all across the North East. It’s a place for businesses to come together to thrive as a collective force.”
“I joined the Chamber as I felt the support you receive and the networking opportunities are invaluable. The monthly membership fee is manageable and helps with cashflow. The Chamber Events are also a great source of networking and I am enjoying attending as many of these as I possibly can.”
