‘We just do stuff’


in the area through engaging, networking opportunities and various other member benefits and every individual chamber is uniquely different. Most local chambers represent the interest of


their members with town councils or work in partnership with other local agencies. Most also host local networking events or promotions designed to spur business growth in the area. Members can often access helpful resources, expertise from other members and even discounts and exclusive opportunities from other businesses within the network. So, if we all do this, how are


we uniquely different and what can we do for you? We quite often say when


asked, “I don’t know, but I know someone who does!” Which allows us to introduce


Advice, Guidance and Support from your local Chamber P


ut very simply, we are a network of businesses within a particular locality. We work to further the interests of businesses


‘We work to further the interests of


the biggest asset we have in our Chamber, you the members. With over 1,100 diverse and well-connected members, it is always likely that whatever problems or issues people have in their own businesses, there is always someone there to give good, sound advice because they have been through it before.

certainly in my time working with membership organisations and within the Chamber network, stretching back to 1986 we have never experienced anything like the past four months. I am sure in the history of our Chamber, going back to the 1870s (aside from the two World Wars) businesses in our locality have never had to work as collaboratively, and through the activities of the Chamber of Commerce we have been able to do this on your behalf. Over the course of the past four months we


have never had as much open and practical engagement with all our members and even with some of those businesses who are not yet part of the Chamber. The working relationships with both our local authorities in Barnsley and Rotherham is at a premium and key strategic contacts with the city region mayor’s office and the local enterprise partnership have seen the


Chamber bring influence on many of the key decisions being made as part of the region’s planning for recovery. To claim regularly, as we do, that the Chamber


offers Advice, Support and Guidance to all our local businesses is a very easy claim to make and one that often is difficult to quantify. However, whenever I am asked “well, what does the


Chamber really do”? Our activities during 2020 and the work of not only our staff but also the wider membership and our key partners will in future get a much more comprehensive response than “we just do stuff”!
