What our members say about us
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.
Gail
Arnold is a consummate professional and incredibly well known and networked.
She always puts members first and has made some useful introductions to us. At
events I have attended that have been run by Gail, she always makes everyone
feel welcome and ensures the event goes smoothly.
In 2019, we took the decision to upgrade to the chambers ‘Platinum’ membership. The benefits provided have been outstanding, offering multiple staff engagement events to further their business learning in fields such as Marketing, Digital & Social Media, HR and Innovation. The Platinum Peer Advisory group further provides Simworx’s directors with the opportunity to engage with other Platinum Group company Directors along with an experienced mentoring coach on a quarterly basis.
