A warm welcome to the month of May, and let’s hope that with two bank holidays this month, the weather will start to improve!

Well here at the Chamber, come wind, rain or sun, we continue to work with you to promote business to business within South Trafford. As many of you will have noticed, the number of members that attend the Chamber networking events is very much on the increase. With all the new members now on board, the Chamber office has had to expand. Emma Duckworth has now joined the team as Membership Recruitment & Sales Administrator. If you have colleagues in business who are not already members of the Chamber, give Emma a call and she will be delighted to meet with them to discuss the benefits of membership.

For those of you who have visited the Chamber offices in Altrincham, you will have realised that space within the office is at a premium. The Chamber has therefore, after much debate, decided to relocate to larger more prestigious offices. The move will take place in June and further details will follow once a date has been confirmed. We are confident that this will allow the Chamber to develop even further.

Forthcoming events:
Wednesday 7 May – Bigger Breakfast Seminar, Sponsored by Lucas Fettes & Partners, Sale. 8am – 9.30am Topic 'Why use an Independent Broker?' £11.75
Tuesday 20May – Evening ‘Mixer’ Event, Sponsored by and held at The House Restaurant & Wine Bar, Goose Green, 5.45pm – 8pm £12.75

Spaces are limited at both of these events, so please contact Anne at the office and reserve your places now.

Just a reminder that the deadline for the summer issue of the Chamber’s magazine, Altruism is 6 June, so please let me have your news stories before this date and we will try to include them. We do have limited advertising space left, so please reserve this soon to avoid disappointment by emailing: barbara@marketingprofile.co.uk . Another fabulous way to promote your business is by sponsoring the link at the bottom of the monthly enews. Only £150 per month plus vat. The next enews 'June' is already sponsored, however at the moment both July and August are available. September is already reserved. Reserve your link today and target key business decision makers.

We look forward to seeing you soon at a future Chamber event.
