Welcome to the July Chamber e-news.

In addition to enjoying long, warm days and maybe looking forward to summer holidays, we very much hope that your business is continuing to grow and flourish.

As a Chamber member, we endeavour to encourage members to do business together.  We have such a wealth of experience and diverse membership that generally we have an expert in most areas.  Do take advantage of the services on offer.

The next Chamber networking event is coming up soon and will be the final event before the summer break:

Wednesday 15 July – The Bowdon Rooms and Herb & Spice, 5.45pm – 8pm We look forward to seeing you there. Places are just £17.25 per person. Reserve yours today! Sponsored by The Bowdon Rooms and Herb & Spice.

Friday 2 October – Concorde Conference Centre 7pm Many of you will be aware that the Chamber is celebrating  its centenary.  We have a ‘Supersonic Extravaganza’ planned!  The evening will focus on the ‘Best of British’ and will be hosted by Becky Want of BBC Radio Manchester. Included will be a Champagne reception, the Chamber Challenge Quiz – hosted by Darren Proctor – Key 103, a speed auction and finally a charity raffle.  The raffle will be in aid of the Genesis Appeal. The event is open to everyone – members and non members - so do come along either with colleagues, friends or clients.  Tickets are £55 per person. (Should you be able to offer a raffle or auction prize please contact the Chamber office)

Throughout the summer months, we are looking to put together a ‘Chamber Loyalty Card’ which will offer member to member discounts. If you wish to provide an offer, contact one of the team at the  Chamber office. The card will provide further Chamber benefits.

Within the next few days, you will receive the summer issue of Chamber’s business magazine, Altruism.  We hope that you enjoy the read!  Should you require additional copies for your office, please let us know. The autumn  issue of the magazine will be out in October so don’t forget to forward your news stories over the next few weeks. You might also like to take advantage of the excellent advertising rates. This is a great way to promote your business. E-mail us at the following address: barbara@marketingprofile.co.uk. Networking  is an essential part of what the Chamber offers and events for 2009 have been exceptionally well supported.  We are now looking ahead to 2010 and planning the schedule of events.  Should you wish to sponsor an event,  let us know as soon as possible.

From the Chamber team we would like to wish you all an enjoyable summer and continued business success.  It is by working together that we can all succeed.
