"We joined the Norfolk Chamber even before we relocated from Scotland last year because we had received so much support from the Inverness chamber.

The attraction with being a Chamber member is that it helps you integrate into an area that much more quickly. Being an entrepreneur can be a lonely business at times, working long hours, and being part of the Chamber has helped accelerate the growth of our business. We have also attended a lot of Chamber events and acted as a sponsor... Read More

"Our primary reason for being Chamber members is to meet potential clients. We have not been disappointed, we’ve met around 30% of the Greenwood&Bell client list at Chamber events.

PR
We have used the Chamber website as one of our main PR channels. Most of the time, you’re never sure whether PR is working. However, recently a new client mentioned that they had read about Greenwood&Bell on the chamber site a couple of days before they gave us a call. I... Read More

"At JMS we aim to update our profile on the website every 1-2 weeks minimum – usually with a news story featuring our latest work or involvement with local clients/events. This in turn often gets tweeted and mentioned in the Norfolk Voice magazine, expanding our audience and building our brand recall that much further with only one action from us which is great.

There is a good range of networking events to suit all types of businesses and all styles of networking. Whether that’s... Read More

I am constantly uploading case studies and sharing my expertise on the Chamber website and am striking up good partnerships with like-minded people in similar industries. There also great membership offers and discounts too including free... Read More

"The biggest benefit of being a chamber member has been the opportunity to meet potential suppliers and customers at networking events. It is so important to meet people face to face and the chamber has allowed us to do that. Also, we have used the HR toolkit, which has helped us get our policies right.”

“Norfolk Chamber of Commerce has really helped us build new relationships in the local business community. Our brand is more prominent, our name is more recognised and it has facilitated Chamber Energy, which is an initiative to work with chamber members to help them make better decisions when it comes to their energy”

"Being members of the Norfolk Chamber has been hugely beneficial for Bigfork.

We are very active attending networking events, exhibitions, speaking and posting articles on the Chamber website and more.

The result has been a higher profile, expanded network and many new clients. As with anything in business you get out what you put in."

"The big advantage of becoming a member of the Chamber is that you are joining a community of like-minded people. They have gone through similar experiences to you, have the same aspirations and are prepared to share their knowledge. It is not just about selling; you are not just saying ‘buy, buy, buy.’ It is about helping each other and building lasting relationships.

Social media fits in well because, between face-to-face meetings at Chamber networking events, you can connect with... Read More
