It’s our objective to ensure that your voice – whatever the size or sector of your business – is heard when local councils and government agencies are formulating policy or consulting the business community.
All businesses are subject to changes in government policies which can impact the way businesses operate. Our activity ensures Shropshire businesses are represented in policy decisions at all levels of government.
All policy arguments are developed through engagement with members. We do this work so you do not have to.
Using the Chamber will enable you to:
- Influence local and national government
- Give your business a competitive advantage by knowing what is happening within the region and beyond
- Add weight and influence to your comments
