CHAMBER NEWS
L-R: Robin Eyre and Scott Knowles shake hands on the agreement
Chamber partnership will boost businesses in the Peak District
The Chamber has become the accountable body for Business Peak District. As part of the agreement,
Business Peak District and the Chamber will deliver and support year-round key activities throughout the Peak District; strengthening the existing commitment to the area in the process. It follows the signing of the
agreement at the Chamber’s Commerce House Chesterfield office recently. Events include – but will not be
limited to – business development workshops, seminars, sector- focused events, MP/Council leader breakfast engagement events and a Bank of England Forum; all held with a view to helping individuals and businesses in the region grow and prosper. The agreement will not be
exclusively events-driven however, with both organisations working together to raise the profile – and protect the interests of – the area and its businesses through a joined-up, collaborative approach. With over 600 members,
Business Peak District’s overriding vision is for a Peak District which
‘I am pleased that the Chamber can now add its weight behind the organisation and provide additional support, resources and expertise to help businesses in the Peak District be even more successful’
marries a distinctive, high quality rural environment with an enterprising, growing and sustainable rural economy. The organisation seeks to act as
a single voice for businesses in and around the Peak District, while simultaneously representing the interests of its partner organisations and stakeholders. Its activity is supported by the
Peak District National Park Authority, Derbyshire Dales District Council, High Peak Borough Council and Staffordshire Moorlands District Council; while it works closely with Marketing Peak District and Derbyshire – of which the Chamber is also the accountable body – and Local Enterprise Partnerships. As the leading business
representation organisation in the region, East Midlands Chamber (Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire,
Leicestershire) offers comprehensive support to its 4,300-plus members across the region; ranging from start-ups to multinationals. Its vision - to enhance East Midlands businesses and communities – offers a clear synergy between the two organisations. Scott Knowles, Chief Executive at
the Chamber, said: “I am delighted to be working in partnership with Business Peak District. “The Peak District is not only
world-renowned as a destination, it’s also home to some great and diverse businesses which play an important role in the local economy. “Business Peak District performs
an important role in helping ensure the area is represented and I am pleased that the Chamber can now add its weight behind the

organisation and provide additional support, resources and expertise to help businesses in the Peak District be even more successful. Robin Eyre, Chairman at Business
Peak District, added: “There are clear mutual interests between the Chamber and Business Peak District, and I am looking forward to both organisations working together to make a real, tangible difference to the fantastic businesses we have in the area. “The Chamber has a great
reputation for offering a wide range of services to the businesses that fall within its geography and I am delighted that our members, and the wider business community of the Peak District, will benefit as a result.”
