Want to know what it’s really like to be a member? The benefits speak for themselves, but don’t just take our word for it. Our members are happy to share their experiences.
We are one of the largest employers in Tendring, and we want to build our relationship within the local community alongside our social impact committee that organises outreach programmes. We feel that the Essex Chamber of Commerce will be an important source of information for us, helping us to connect locally and internationally.
Being active and supporting our local business community is very important to Birkett Long, and being a member of Essex Chambers plays a large part in that. They have facilitated relationships between us and other organisations regularly over the years and remain a crucial business partner.
I have been a member of the Essex Chambers of Commerce for 2 years and love the fact I have met an array of like minded people in business while attending various networking, training events and 1:1 meetings with services providers. ECC has provided me a platform to act as a training partner introducing International Standards for members and beyond.
Having been providing IT services to Essex businesses for over 13 years, we understand the IT challenges that organisations face, and propose cost-effective IT solutions. There’s no upselling of products or services, or complicating matters with too much technical speak. That’s why Essex Chambers of Commerce is a fantastic member organisation for us to be a part of. We are inspired by the same values – we like to see business in our region thrive.
The highly organised networking events and exhibitions enable us to dip in and out of what’s going on around the county. It’s invaluable as a ‘sounding board’ for what is affecting other local businesses and the practical business support is useful and welcome.
The Essex Chambers of Commerce really look after their Members and understand their individual needs. They facilitate worthy networking events and private introductions, with a keen eye on business opportunities for economic benefits in Essex and beyond.
After joining the Essex Chambers of Commerce, our Export Coordinator, Jacqui Wilson, highlighted their immense knowledge of International Trade. Their expert guidance, particularly through their training courses was invaluable in helping us navigate the complexities of Brexit. Their ongoing support continues to be instrumental in strengthening our international platform.
Beyond their outstanding trade expertise, I quickly discovered that the Chambers offer fantastic opportunities for businesses to network with like-minded professionals. Their professionalism is evident in everything they do, and their services have become an essential resource for our company. I would highly recommend Essex Chambers of Commerce to any business looking to enhance its offering, stay up to date with key commerce issues, and connect with a thriving business community.
Being part of the Essex Chamber of Commerce has been a genuinely positive experience for us. We've made some fantastic connections with local businesses whose trusted expertise has helped drive our own business forward in meaningful ways.
Beyond the networking, the Chamber has provided valuable opportunities to step outside the day-to-day operations and think differently. Whether it's gaining fresh ideas, exploring new perspectives, or simply being inspired, the environment has consistently encouraged innovation and growth.
And what makes it even better is that it's all driven by local companies and opportunities, which is a true reflection of the strength and potential within our region.
Thank you for the continued support and for fostering such a dynamic and collaborative business community.
