Chamber members working together
Since becoming a Patron of Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber of Commerce, CSP Systems Ltd has continued to nurture the relationships and opportunities that have been presented to them resulting in the growth of their business, and ultimately increasing recognition from within the local business area. In this uncertain time with businesses
throughout our communities affected by the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic, it has never been more important for local businesses to recognise local suppliers of products and services and know they can put their trust in dealing with each other. CSP Systems Ltd has seen this trust placed
in their business by becoming a preferred supplier of Oxley and Coward Solicitors LLP, to deliver the professional and friendly service which they have been recognised for since beginning their business adventure, four and a half years ago. By beginning this supplier relationship
with Oxley and Coward Solicitors LLP, another Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber of Commerce Patron Member, CSP Systems Ltd have delivered an entire fleet of multifunction machines which provide copy, print and scanning solutions for their business requirements. Andy Bethel, Director, CSP Systems Ltd, said: “This is a great example of how businesses connected through Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber of Commerce, can place confidence in another member to provide a quality service.” Richard Sheppard, Managing Partner, Oxley
& Coward, added: “We wanted to work with a local business and in particular one that was a member of the Chamber. I am glad we turned to Andy; from the initial phone call to installation the service has been first class.”

young people aged 16-24 who have been unable to secure permanent employment, the scheme provides paid work experience for up to six months and aims to help youngsters to become work ready, as well as going on to participate in
apprenticeships or future training opportunities. As part of the Kickstarter scheme, the Chamber acts as a Gateway Organisation between employers and local job centres, who will match suitable candidates with work experience opportunities. Each work placement is advertised through local job centres, and wages are funded by the Government for up to 25 hours per week. Businesses can also claim up to £1,500 towards the costs of equipment and training. The scheme is open to all businesses based in the Sheffield City Region and businesses do not need to be a member of Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber to take part in the programme. Joada Allen, President,
Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber, said: “As a Gateway Organisation, we will be able to help South
Yorkshire’s SME community to help young
people benefit from a valuable chance to play their part in helping to shape the workforce of the future. We’ve seen high levels of interest in the scheme, illustrating how many employers recognise the importance of inspiring and encouraging the next generation.”
