We have teamed up with several Black Country Chamber members and partners to offer a range of discounts and savings for your business and the people you employ.

Now more than ever businesses are finding ways to save money and Chamber membership can help you do just that!

According to results from our latest Quarterly Economic Survey (Q4 2023), rising labour costs are rivalling the rise of utility prices as a pressure point for businesses this quarter. Labour costs and utilities are amongst the highest concern for firms across all sectors in the Black Country – at 43% and 47% respectively.

Our commercial partner offers are available to all Chamber members for the duration of their membership. Allowing you and your employees to benefit from a range of opportunities to save money and access advice and support.

Quest – HR, Legal, Tax and Health & Safety

Quest Cover provides HR, Legal, Tax and Health & Safety, and gives Black Country Chamber members access to an extensive document library with hundreds of downloadable documents that can be used in business.

Barclaycard Payments – Discounted Rates

Whether customers are paying online or in person, you could be taking payments for less thanks to our partnership with Barclaycard Payments. As well as a specially negotiated discount on merchant service charges, their leading online payment solutions and flexible card readers could help you create a smoother payment experience for your customers.

The AA’s business breakdown cover will make sure your drivers get back on the road quickly – and with minimum disruption – if the worst happens. All you need to do is choose the right level of cover for you.
