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.
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 are incredibly proud to
have a very long-standing association with the Chamber.
The Black Country has a unique position at the heart of the Midland Engine, and as such, has some specific needs. Over the past five decades – and never more so than in recent years – we have seen the economy, the business world, and technology change more than anyone probably ever thought possible.
Through all of these changes, the Chamber has adapted to create opportunities and services which help every business, including the Thomas Dudley Group.
