Dear Chamber Member, support programme, funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and provided by Business Growth West Midlands, to support local businesses. This expert international trade support sits alongside our export documentation and trade training support. Please contact Adele Dodds in our office for more details.

It’s been a busy couple of months, with a flurry of important policy announcements from the government, our local political landscape adjusting to new leadership, and some huge announcements on infrastructure investment that could help to reshape Coventry & Warwickshire.

At the start of June, we had the brilliant British Chambers of Commerce Global Annual Conference. It featured an impressive line-up of speakers, including the Prime Minister, the Leader of the Opposition, and the Governor of the Bank of England.

I would also invite you to attend our West Midlands International Trade Summit, taking place on Friday 12th September in Coventry, to hear from a range of excellent speakers, panels and for the chance to find out more about the support available.

Finally, at a recent Chamber EGM, we adopted the recommendations of our governance review. We now have a newly structured board, have separated the roles of Chair and President for the first time in our 120-year history, and are creating a new Business Assembly. This assembly will bring businesses and decision-makers together to help deliver a new Business Manifesto, launching this autumn.

Keep an eye on our social media channels for details on how you can put yourself forward for the new Chamber President’s role or take up a place on the new Business Assembly.
