Thousands of businesses in Devon are being urged to take advantage of free business support with a fully funded trial membership of Devon & Plymouth Chamber of Commerce.
For the next few months, the Chamber will open up its membership with the return of its fully funded three-month introductory scheme.
The membership gives businesses the opportunity to be part of the Chamber network – with access to events, support, international trade advice and excellent networking opportunities – at absolutely no cost.
Statistics show that Chamber members are three times more likely to survive in business and last year dozens signed up, helping companies work through the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic.
This autumn, it returns with a new message – don’t just survive, it’s time to thrive.
Now is the time to take advantage of all the benefits of being part of the Chamber, especially with the return of its exclusive events programme filled with quality speakers, superb networking and the best venues the region has to offer.
Chamber Chief Executive Stuart Elford said: “The last 18 months have been incredibly difficult for everyone and we have helped countless businesses survive this challenging period.
“We want to again do something tangible that would help as many businesses as possible succeed as we start to recover and grow again.
“We want as many businesses as possible to be part of something bigger, so we as a region can emerge stronger and thrive again.
“This is a fabulous chance to give your businesses access to the tools it needs to grow by being part of the Chamber – it comes at no cost to you and there’s only a few weeks left until the window to apply closes.”
The Chamber has a line-up of exciting events on the horizon in an innovative in-person and hybrid format.
They include the popular City Conversations at The Box as well as a month of green events themed on the upcoming COP26 climate change conference.
