The benefits of Chamber membership
Networking Events
We run quarterly events just for new members who have joined recently as an introduction to the Chamber and how we can make it work for you. You are not alone.
Our events happen throughout the day – be it morning, noon or night! So there’s always something happening.
"I have met some inspirational members and made some good friends. I have gained good contacts and customers."

Are you looking to expand your business? Is there something affecting your growth? Do you know who to talk to? We do.
We hold regular meetings with local authorities and regional government.
We continue to lobby central Government on things that matter to businesses, including the A27, regeneration of the area and Gatwick Airport.
We also hold meetings with the Bank of England, reporting back on growth and the barriers to businesses in the area.

All we need is a hi-resolution photo of your news story or event. We can write the rest of the press article for you, free of charge, and get it in the magazines and regular e-shots.
