Ben Ironmonger Partner Scott Bailey LLP
“Chamber Connects! in Farnborough yesterday was very useful and informative. From a pure business perspective, I made three contacts which if they come to fruition will be good for the bottom line. It was also helpful to meet new people, learn about other businesses and industry sectors as well as to be among friends!”
“I cannot thank you all enough, for the excellent service (international trade) you all provide and you’re all extremely helpful and nothing is too much trouble.”
Dennis Holden from Ecu Worldwide
“A short note of ‘thanks’ for arranging the visit to the House of Commons yesterday. Excellent company and interesting facts throughout the day, I also made some valuable connections for my work at the university.”
Madeline Morton, University of Portsmouth
“I would like to say a big thank you for all the support that we have received from the Chamber. David has been so helpful and knowledgeable. This is a big project for us so it has been important to provide our end client with the correct documentation. So far so good. There is some way to go yet.”
Colin Brooks Design & Projects
“The Hampshire Chambers works hard to promote and connect local businesses, with regular and varied events. Not only have I met and connected with a number of interesting people and companies through the Chambers, I’ve also learnt a lot about the local area whilst doing so.”
Jon Bird, First Actuarial LLP
“We’ve finally got around to sending out our emailer campaign to the list you provided, our own top targets and a Solent 250 list we created in house. I thought you would want to know that the Chamber list performed extremely well with consistently high open rates, well above industry average.”
