"For those considering joining the Chamber of Commerce I would offer two words, “Don’t Hesitate”. The benefits far exceed the expectations you may have and for us it doesn't feel so lonely anymore. Since joining the Chamber we have seen an escalation in business, particularly from other chamber members/organisations. We have found the networking events and workshops thoroughly beneficial."

"The City Hotel has been a member since the hotel opened its doors in 2002. Hosting the President's Annual Lunch allowed us to showcase our facilities and raise our profile. It was invaluable to highlight our fantastic services to new members from outside the City by having top businesses and companies from the Northwest in one room.
For events at the hotel, we have taken advantage of the Chamber e-zine to advertise discount offerings directly to members, along with attending the Chamber’s insightful, thought-provoking events and workshops.
Thinking of becoming a member…. Do it today and prepare to open your business to new opportunities!"

"What I have found most beneficial is the connection to like-minded and forward-thinking members who want local companies to succeed and grow. The networking events are great for this, relaxed, friendly and encouraging. The good news Friday is a great way to keep abreast of success stories and wins.
I would encourage businesses to join the chamber. Navigating in today’s challenging economic environment is easier when you’re connected to great support, information and encouragement."

"Chamber membership has brought real value to our business. Our recent experience at an event in Parliament showcased the extensive reach and powerful network provided by the Chamber of Commerce. The positive reception we received for our product, the McGonagle Reader [MGR], from attendees, including key Northern Irish politicians, has opened doors for future collaboration and support for our business. This event exemplifies the high added value that the Chamber offers to local businesses in the North West and their ability to open doors for companies. I want to extend my sincere gratitude to the Chamber team for their unwavering dedication and the exceptional opportunities they provide to members like us."
