Chamber Awards and new council and board members

Despite the disruption to the business calendar caused by Covid19, the show will go on and Staffordshire Chambers Business Awards ceremony, originally scheduled to take place in July, will now take place at a glitzy virtual ceremony on 19th November with a celebrity host.

This is a fantastic opportunity to let the business community know that your business has come through lockdown and how you are positively embracing the challenges ahead and capitalising on new opportunities.

A special Chambers Awards platform is now live and will remain open for entries until 5pm on Friday 9th October after which judging will commence. We are grateful to main sponsor HSBC and all our other sponsors for their generous support of the awards.

All the categories and sponsors are listed at the easy to use portal where you can apply for as many categories as you like: https://staffordshirechambers.awardsplatform.com/ For more information email: awards@staffordshirechambers.co.uk

The Chambers has only ever been as good as its members whose enthusiasm and drive give us the focus and the mandate to carry out our mission of being the complete business support and representative body for business in Staffordshire.

We are looking for active, influential members who would like to take their involvement to the next level by joining Chamber’s council, board of directors, or one of the local area boards for Stafford and the Staffordshire Moorlands.

Serving on our council, board of directors or a local area board is a great way to keep abreast of what is going on in business and the wider economy. As a businessperson you can get directly involved and influence by representing the views of businesses in your community right up to the highest level.

In addition, you will make new contacts within your peer group and forge valuable business connections.

We welcome applications from all business people from all backgrounds from self-employed to large businesses in any sector.

If you are interested in becoming a council or board member, or would like to chat about what is involved please contact Vicki Hardie vicki.hardie@staffordshirechambers.co.uk
