Why we’ve organised these events.
Network and connect with like-minded businesses
These events bring together businesses facing similar challenges and opportunities, giving you that chance to network and build connections in a relaxed setting.
Get to know the beating heart of the Chamber
Meeting the team face-to-face allows you to experience the Chamber’s personality and culture first-hand. We’re a friendly bunch who enjoy engaging conversations. More importantly, this is your opportunity to share what your business is about so we can tailor our support to your needs from day one.
Speak to our Chamber Ambassadors
Our Ambassadors have been where you are. They once stood at the beginning of their Chamber journey and are now passionate about sharing their experiences. Chatting with them gives you a clearer picture of the diverse ways businesses engage with the Chamber.
What to expect on the day
We understand that time is valuable in the business world. So, before you book your place, here’s a quick breakdown of the event:
A casual networking session
As you arrive you can network with others to share your aims of attending the event, meet new businesses and even engage in conversations that can unlock a new perspective on how you do business. If you’re comfortable, introduce yourself and your business. It’s a great way to spark new ideas and connections.
An introduction to the Chamber by our Head of Membership, Sean Jackson
Sean will give you an overview of the Chamber, our story, and why we’re so passionate about supporting Black Country businesses. He’ll also outline the different membership tiers to help you identify which option might best suit your goals.
An open discussion with our Ambassadors
Hear directly from our Ambassadors about their Chamber experiences, this open conversation allows you to explore real-life examples and ask any questions you may have, including ones you might not have thought of before.
Opportunities to sign up
If the event confirms that Chamber membership is right for you, that’s great! We have a chance to join the Chamber and get started with creating a clear plan and check ins for you. At the Chamber, we work hard to ensure every member is happy with their membership and how that aligns to their business journey.
Through regular one-to-one meetings and networking events, we aim to provide a balanced business plan that can grow your business confidence.
How it could benefit you
A relaxed and informal meeting
We want you to feel comfortable. Whether you come in workwear or casual clothes, just be yourself. Enjoy a hot drink and a friendly chat. We’re here to learn about the person behind the business!
Present your business to a wide network
Like any networking event, you’ll have the opportunity to talk about your business and what drives you. By doing this, you can meet other businesses from completely different sectors, including our Ambassadors.
A no-pressure event
We’d love for you to join us, but there’s no pressure. If you’re not quite ready or need more time to decide, we completely understand. This event is about giving you the information and space you need to make the right decision for your business.
Conclusion:
