What our members say about us
We made the decision to upgrade our membership from gold to platinum July 2020 and it’s not a decision we have once regretted. Our journey as a chamber member is much longer but in reflection of nearly 3 years involvement with The Platinum Group specifically, we recognise the move to the group was pivotal for us as a business.
The relationship we have with Gail
Arnold is second to none, she has become an extension of the team here at MET
and that’s because she really understands our values, culture, and business
goals. The wider chamber team are also a fantastic support network, and our
membership allows us access to an endless amount of tools allowing us to grow
our business, increase our knowledge and share best practice with fellow
members.
"As Chamber Patrons, Walsall College is able to work more closely with employers to understand emerging business challenges, skills needs and industry ambitions for the future. The networking opportunities are a way for businesses to demonstrate their success stories and identify best practice. Building relationships in this way means we can enhance the education and training solutions we offer, influence local decision-making and drive positive change across the region. It also ensures that the Black Country has a strong and influential business voice at all levels."
IPU Group have been a member of the Black Country Chamber of Commerce Platinum Group for around 3 years now and have found it to be a great source of information for our business.
There is a huge amount of support available through peer-to-peer groups, general development programmes covering everything from Sales & Marketing to HR, best practice sharing and of course many networking events. One of the huge benefits is having a main point of contact, which for us is Gail Arnold. Essentially Gail will take any question, issue or enquiry and deal with it personally so you can be assured of a speedy response.
I
would liken The Platinum Group to an extension of our own business, always on
hand to assist and support our business in everything we do.
