Being active and supporting our local business community is very important to Birkett Long, and being a member of Essex Chambers plays a large part in that. They have facilitated relationships between us and other organisations regularly over the years and remain a crucial business partner.
I have been a member of the Essex Chambers of Commerce for 2 years and love the fact I have met an array of like minded people in business while attending various networking, training events and 1:1 meetings with services providers. ECC has provided me a platform to act as a training partner introducing International Standards for members and beyond.
Having been providing IT services to Essex businesses for over 13 years, we understand the IT challenges that organisations face, and propose cost-effective IT solutions. There’s no upselling of products or services, or complicating matters with too much technical speak. That’s why Essex Chambers of Commerce is a fantastic member organisation for us to be a part of. We are inspired by the same values – we like to see business in our region thrive.
Joining the Essex Chambers of Commerce offers numerous benefits to Crawfords, a local business seeking to grow and expand its exposure in the region. The Chambers provide access to a vast network of professionals and businesses, offering opportunities to connect, collaborate, and grow together. What appealed to Crawfords most, is that Members receive support through a range of initiatives, including networking events, training and development programs, and business lobbying efforts. Additionally, this provides Crawfords with a platform for the business to showcase its products and services through marketing and promotional opportunities.
The highly organised networking events and exhibitions enable us to dip in and out of what’s going on around the county. It’s invaluable as a ‘sounding board’ for what is affecting other local businesses and the practical business support is useful and welcome.
The Essex Chambers of Commerce holds fantastic events which enable us to connect with a huge variety of businesses in Essex and raise awareness of the important work we do in the community.
The Essex Chambers of Commerce really look after their Members and understand their individual needs. They facilitate worthy networking events and private introductions, with a keen eye on business opportunities for economic benefits in Essex and beyond.
After joining the Essex Chambers of Commerce, our Export Coordinator, Jacqui Wilson, highlighted their immense knowledge of International Trade. Their expert guidance, particularly through their training courses was invaluable in helping us navigate the complexities of Brexit. Their ongoing support continues to be instrumental in strengthening our international platform.
Beyond their outstanding trade expertise, I quickly discovered that the Chambers offer fantastic opportunities for businesses to network with like-minded professionals. Their professionalism is evident in everything they do, and their services have become an essential resource for our company. I would highly recommend Essex Chambers of Commerce to any business looking to enhance its offering, stay up to date with key commerce issues, and connect with a thriving business community.
