MESSAGE FROM MEMBERSHIP
BY PHIL BRIDGEMAN HEAD OF MEMBERSHIP AT BUSINESS WEST
Members have been telling us about their concerns around Brexit. The Chamber is working hard to support its members during this time, passing questions received via to our Trading Through Brexit service, where members can find useful resources and FAQs to help them. The British Chambers of Commerce annual conference is taking place on 28 March at the QEII Centre in London. The Conference is a must-attend event for business leaders, corporate affairs and public policy professionals and is an exceptional opportunity to network with people from all sectors.
The key themes being discussed on the day are:
• Innovation: Fuelling an economy fit for the future
• People: Building a sustainable workforce for tomorrow
• Infrastructure: Delivering a network that drives growth
