Chamber champions community and connection across the region

It’s been a busy and inspiring few months for the West Cheshire & North Wales Chamber of Commerce team, with activities ranging from supporting local charities to shaping the future of UK business.

Chamber supports DIY SOS project at The Joshua Tree

The Chamber was proud to support a remarkable community initiative as part of the BBC’s DIY SOS project at The Joshua Tree in Sandiway, a charity that supports families affected by childhood cancer.

CEO Sarah and Commercial Director Carol, together with affiliate partner East Cheshire Chamber of Commerce, visited the site to provide refreshments for the dedicated volunteers and tradespeople working tirelessly on the project. Their efforts will create a vital space for families to receive the care and support they need.

The Chamber praises the DIY SOS team, local volunteers, and The Joshua Tree for their commitment to making a lasting difference in the community.

Chamber supports Dial West Cheshire’s T Club

The West Cheshire & North Wales Chamber of Commerce recently joined forces with Dial West Cheshire to support their T-Club, a monthly social group designed to reduce loneliness and social isolation among older people.

Chamber CEO, Sarah, and Commercial Director, Carol, were invited to speak at the event, where they delivered an insightful presentation on how the Chamber supports local businesses across the region. Attendees were also treated to a glimpse into the Chamber’s history, with Sarah and Carol showcasing a selection of historical artefacts that sparked lively discussions about the region’s heritage.

The visit highlighted the importance of community engagement and the role local organisations play in fostering connections.

Team spirit at Chester’s Roof Top Social Club

Following a recent team meeting day filled with strategic planning and discussions on how to enhance membership value, the team headed for an evening at Chester’s Roof Top Social Club.

With delicious food provided by The Fat Greek Street Food and a spirited game of shuffleboard, the evening offered an opportunity for team members to relax and recharge after a productive day. It is always great to connect outside of the office environment as it helps team spirit as the Chamber continues to develop innovative ways to support its business community.

BCC Global Annual Conference 2025 showcases economic vision

Members of the Chamber team and board directors recently attended the British Chambers of Commerce Global Annual Conference 2025, one of the most significant events in the UK business calendar.

This year’s conference explored trends, challenges, and opportunities driving economic growth, featuring keynote addresses from Prime Minister Rt Hon Sir Keir Starmer, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey, and the Rt Hon Kemi Badenoch MP.

A proud moment for the region came when Chamber member James Phipps, of Cokebusters International contributed to a panel discussion on the future of artificial intelligence and its impact on business, underlining the innovation and expertise within our local business community.
