What our members say about us
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.
We have been Chamber Platinum Group members for a few years
now and have never looked back since upgrading from our gold membership.
We are members of several other organisations, and none come close to the benefits the Chamber team offer. Nothing is ever to much trouble when it comes to helping & connecting businesses in the area. We take advantage of many fantastic events The Platinum Group offers, from Group Coaching sessions at Peer-to-Peer level along with other networking events.
I truly cannot sing their praises enough and would happily talk to anyone who is thinking of joining.
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.
