Having attended training courses at The Academy and used the facility to host a recent round of interviews, I can fully recommend The Academy facilities. In terms of presenting a professional business image The Academy is absolutely ideal. It’s also great to know that as a member, if I have a local meeting I can use the member drop in facility at the shortest of notice and with no extra cost at all.

Impact Consultancy has used the Academy as a venue to host a number of seminars and most recently our ‘Dragons Den’ event. The Academy is a super venue as the main training room can be configured to suit different audience and workshop needs. The lounge areas and breakout rooms proved ideal when there were numerous presenters one after another. That combined with its professional feel (and brilliant coffee machine) make it a venue we will definitely use again.

Business Watch Guarding became the Chambers first Security Patron in 2011, as part of our extensive Corporate Social Responsibility Policy. The increased brand awareness that Patronage has afforded us has enhanced our standing with both suppliers and customers within Shropshire as well as enabling the company to substantially increase its turnover and create local employment opportunities.

I joined the Chamber in 2011, not coming from a business background I have found members to be very generous with their help and advice. This help has been invaluable in gaining new work from other members and members referring me to their clients.

Zen Communications has been a Member of the Shropshire Chamber of Commerce for several years, and a Patron for two, and we really value the support offered. Whether it’s vibrant networking events and expos where we can develop new contacts and build on existing relationships; insightful training courses about topics that matter to our business; or any one of the other host of benefits available, we know there’s always someone to turn to when we need support and guidance.

Walford and North Shropshire College (WNSC) has been delighted to have been members of the Shropshire Chamber of Commerce for a number of years. In recent months, as the College strives to support the development and up-skilling of local workforces, the Chamber membership has given WNSC a route to local business owners. With a newly established Catering and Hospitality Department, we had the opportunity to host a networking meeting and look forward to working with the Chamber to support future events around the County where we have campuses.

We have been Chamber members since we started our business in Shrewsbury 4years ago. The range of support, training, networking and discounted services is second to none. Shropshire Chamber of Commerce has helped us to not only grow our business but make friends as well!

Membership of the Chamber is probably one of the best investments I have made for my business. For a very small amount of money.  The Chamber provide a multitude of events throughout the year that I am able to benefit from. These range from breakfast club network meetings, training course, exhibitions and social events where I can meet other business owners and grow my business contacts. I would recommend any business in the Shropshire area to utilise the opportunities the Chamber offer.

Having recently attended the seminar ‘Building an Effective Network Strategy’ led by Kevin Parr, I am delighted to recommend both the facilities and the training courses offered by The Academy, Shropshire to clients and business associates.
