Member testimonials
-
“We are members of the Chamber as we like to have someone on our side when we need back up and support. We don’t use the resources or services on a regular basis, but when we need you, you’re always ready to help. We had invaluable support during a recent redundancy, and you’ve also helped with training too.”
“Away from what you do for us, we’re also keen to invest in support for all the North East so we’re happy to contribute our membership fees as we know you do a lot more than answer our queries when we ask. You’re a great North East ambassador and resource, and we want to make sure your always around.”
“A big part of how we’ve managed over the last few months has been having conversations with our clients – sharing experiences and learnings with each other. This is what the Chamber does well. It gathers insight on a regional scale and shares what’s working well with its members as well as championing our needs nationally, living up to its brand essence that together we are stronger.”
“The Chamber is an organisation that puts its members at the heart of everything it does. Through taking a genuine interest in the growth and development of local businesses such as ours, as well as listening to the concerns and issues those businesses face we have seen during our 43 years of membership the Chamber drive some real change for the benefit of all in the region. Its regular program of events, often with relevant and insightful guest speakers serve not only as a fantastic way of sharing knowledge and keeping members up to date, but also as a great opportunity to network with other business leaders. In an increasingly complex and fast paced world, with all the challenges businesses must now face it is reassuring to know that as a member, we have the Chamber at our back to listen to us, support us, and help us to effect change.”
