A branding workshop with a cross-section of staff, held at Alpha Tower, helped to define the role of the GBCC
for a succinct way to summarise and position our offering and we feel that the new proposition to connect, support and grow does this.” The GBCC has been a trusted business adviser to local businesses since
1813 and it will continue to create partnerships with organisations in Greater Birmingham to support their growth plans. There are plans for a new start-up product to ensure that membership
packages reflect all business sizes and needs, from start-up to multi- national global names. Russell Jeans, director of business services, said: “The continual evolution
of the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce as evidenced by its new products is a clear demonstration of its increasing relevance to connecting, supporting and growing businesses ‘Combined with our on-going commitment to the delivery of key strands
of the business support agenda, it puts the Chamber front and centre of the drive for growth in the Greater Birmingham business arena and beyond. “We are delighted to announce that existing members will have their
loyalty ‘locked in’ via a price freeze for their next renewal as a thank you for their on-going support.” As part of the brand re-fresh, Future Faces will be fully integrated with
the rest of the Greater Birmingham divisions and re-named the Future Faces Chamber of Commerce. Adam Maguire, president of Future Faces, said: “I am thrilled about the

our second annual dinner and awards, following the amazing success of last year’s event, and we are launching a refreshed membership offering in terms of events throughout the rest of the year. “We are also about to head off the Brussels ahead of the EU Referendum
in June. The new look shows off how far we have come in such a short amount of time, and where we are heading in terms of being better integrated with the GBCC which will, in turn, allow us to continue to support and grow the region’s developing talent even further.” In addition to these new packages, a group-wide website will be re-
launched this month and will include a new and improved Member Directory, a Member Marketplace where members can place offers and request services and to give members a wider voice there will be a Spotlight feature giving members the opportunity to submit a blog to be published on the website. Katrina Cooke added: “As a thank you for their on-going support and loyalty, we have applied a price freeze to existing members for their next renewal. There is, of course, an option to upgrade membership to Premier or 1813 Club.” To find out more call the membership department on 0845 603 6650 or visit the new website at
