Many businesses also give discounts for Chamber members, a great advantage for small or new entrepreneurs. Membership of the Chamber of Commerce boosts perceptions of your brand as an industry leader, and possibly gives you the potential to open new doors and secure growth opportunities.
We also have opportunities for members to become fully involved in the running of the North & Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce. We are overseen by an elected council and board of directors, all elected by the Chamber’s membership.
Becoming an elected member of a Chamber’s council is an excellent way to have an active and influential role in your business community, which can in turn have a very positive impact on the visibility and credibility of your own business.
The most effective way to drive change and influence decision-makers is to be part of our influential network.
As a Chamber member you have the power to use our extensive contacts to influence key decision-makers and play a leading role in tackling the issues that are preventing your business from reaching its potential, while an experienced team of lobbyists represents your interests in Whitehall. We often get involved in local, regional and national government, and can help give your business a stronger voice on issues that affect you, your employees, and your customers.
Working together to reach common goals, and collectively advocating for education, healthcare, transport, regulation and taxation issues helps to improve and shape the environmental that local businesses operate within.
