4. INFLUENCE
Engaging with the right people – be it your local MP, industry sector peers or a local, regional or national body - can be facilitated by the Chamber which, as the region’s largest business support organisation, ensures its members are heard by influencers and decision-makers.
Amid Brexit negotiations and an ever-evolving and at times uncertain business landscape, it is arguably more important than ever that our region’s businesses are in a position to influence current and future business conditions – locally, regionally and nationally.
Through our Influencing activity, the Chamber can help you:

• Have your say on business conditions in your area and sector through the Chamber’s QES
• Engage with key decision-makers and influencers • Take part in sector forums and conferences • Raise your profile • Campaign on the areas of business that matter to you
It is imperative that business has its say and influences the current and future landscape and, guided by insights from, among other measures, its Quarterly Economic Survey of members, the Chamber provides that mouthpiece on a local, regional and national stage for the businesses it represents. Through its deep-rooted and strong relationships
with key influencers and decision-makers from the East Midlands to Westminster, the Chamber is well placed to give members a voice and insight into the specific and general issues affecting business in the region.
