We are delighted to be able to bring so many knowledgeable voices together to share their insights.

Welcome to another packed edition of Inspire.

It’s hard to believe we are now racing towards Christmas – don’t forget to book tickets for the festive Chamber lunch if you haven’t already. It is always one of the highlights of our year.

But before we get to the annual festivities, we have our eagerly anticipated AI conference just around the corner. Artificial intelligence has become such a big talking point for businesses across our county and we are delighted to be able to bring so many knowledgeable voices together to share their insights. AI is already transforming the way we work, trade and communicate – and it’s vital that Hertfordshire businesses have the tools and confidence to make the most of the opportunities it brings. From improving productivity and customer engagement to helping with sustainability and skills, the potential is huge. Events like this allow us to explore what that means in practice and to learn from those already leading the way.

As always, this issue is full of inspiring stories from across our membership – from award wins and business growth to community initiatives that are making a difference. Our network continues to demonstrate the strength, innovation and collaboration that make Hertfordshire such a fantastic place to do business.

You will also be able to read about many of the events the Chamber has hosted over the past weeks. We are already looking ahead to 2026, so check out our events calendar on pages 24-27 to see what interests you.

Thank you for your continued support and for being part of our Chamber community. I hope you enjoy this edition and I look forward to seeing many of you at our upcoming events.
