Join the Chamber in celebration at the AGM
Cannock Chase Chamber of Commerce members can celebrate the organisation’s achievements over the past year at its annual meeting and business lunch. The Chamber’s flagship event will
take place on 8 November at The Chase Golf Club in Penkridge, between 11.30am and 2pm. It will include an overview
of the past year and the appointment of several business people to Chase Chamber’s council. The council is made up
of representatives from Cannock Chase’s business community and is led by Chamber president Martyn Jupp. Following the annual general
meeting, Amanda Milling and a representative from McArthurGlen Designer Outlet in Cannock will address delegates. Amanda has served as the MP for Cannock
Chase for four years. She currently serves as the Deputy Chief Whip and Treasurer of the Household for the Conservative party. She has been an active campaigner on a
variety of issues, including the closure of the Rugeley B Power Station and its redevelopment, maintenance of the local road network, the delivery of the Chase Line electrification project, illegal waste site fires and supporting young people into work. McArthurGlen Designer Outlet in Cannock
is a retail space spanning 285,000 sqft due to open in 2020.
Being constructed by McArthurGlen and
costing £160m, the outlet will house 80 sought-after premium and luxury brands offering year-round savings of up to 60 per cent, a selection of restaurants and cafés, a children’s play area, bike parking for cyclists and 1,400 car parking spaces. The development is being
estimated to generate 1,000 jobs for the local area and grow local tourism spend by £3m annually. Chris Plant (pictured),
director of Chase Chamber of Commerce, said: “We are
absolutely delighted to have two fantastic speakers for Chase
Chamber’s flagship event of the year. “At the annual general meeting and
celebration lunch we will celebrate all the fantastic achievements the Chamber, our president Martyn Jupp and our members have made over the past year. “I urge all members, and non-members, to
attend and celebrate with us and hear all about the exciting plans ahead for Cannock.” The event is £10 for members of Chase Chamber and £20 for non-members.

Chasetown’s new
dug-outs in action BusinessNorthern Premier League team Chasetown Football Club has unveiled its new dug-outs, which are being sponsored by Crown Highways. The new dug-outs were used for the first time
at Chasetown’s Scholars Ground in Burntwood during a match against Ilkeston Town. Steve Jones, chairman of Crown Highways,
said: “It is very satisfying when an initial idea gathers momentum and everyone pulls together for the successful delivery of a project. “The costs of these projects is never easy on
the pocket but I’m glad to say with everyone working collaboratively, donating time, materials and money, we managed to deliver a project that will satisfy current and future legislation for many year to come.” Chris Plant, director of Chase Chamber of
Commerce, said: “The Chamber is delighted to support such an engaged, fantastic community club. The event was a great afternoon, involving lots of residents and businesses to network with who all support their local club. For anyone interested in sponsorship opportunities at Chasetown Football Club, prices start from £250 for seasonal advertising boards and match day sponsorship.
BCRS helps firm finish contract
A Staffordshire construction company which has been supported by a county council loan fund is celebrating the completion of a multi- million-pound building project in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter. Rugeley-based PJ Installations has been
working on a contract at the St George’s Urban Village project in Carver Street for the past 17 months, which was made possible thanks to funding from the Staffordshire Business Loan Fund. The project, which is the Jewellery Quarter’s
largest residential scheme in a decade, saw the firm fit windows, doors, curtain walls and flashing to the 600 residential homes. The company took on the contract after
Loan success: Tony Wood (left) and Paul Stacey
securing £50,000 from the Staffordshire Business Loan Fund, run by BCRS Business Loans in conjunction with Staffordshire County Council.
Director Paul Stacey said: “We have over 25
years’ experience in the sector and, after initially being asked by Granada Architectural to fit the windows and curtain walls, we were also asked to cut and fit the flashing. “Securing funding from the Staffordshire
Business Loan Fund meant we could take on this contract by employing more staff and easing cashflow.” Tony Wood, head of credit at BCRS Business
Loans, said: “It is excellent to see how funding from the Staffordshire Business Loan Fund has supported the growth of PJ Installations. “This is testament to how successful the fund
was and how it has supported the growth of hundreds of businesses across the county.” BCRS Business Loans offer loans from
£10,000 to £150,000 to support the growth of West Midlands based businesses.
