A carefully curated event from the GMCC Team, outstanding.
The setting for the delegation from Saudi Arabia, was impeccable, Addelshaw Goddard were excellent hosts and really informative. Their reach in the GCC Region, specifically Saudi Arabia, made them ideal hosts.
Lauren and Giulia proved amazing hosts, and the businesses they gathered together from Manchester was a great, the best event we have attended.

We were a new entrant to Manchester from Ireland and made to feel so at home and included . Well done to Lea-Anne, Lucy. Emma H and Lewis and all the GM Chamber team - totally recommend joining and becoming a member here for any organisation

Invaluable support for businesses

I have been a member of the GM Chamber for 5 years and as a sole trader, mainly attend their networking events / presentations. It is a great opportunity for me to meet people I do not know and explore how we can help each other. The Chamber also offers several services to help all types of businesses with their day-to-day activities. It is an invaluable service for business owners, who have to wear multiple hats running their business. They need help picking up some of these hats from the floor. The Chamber is a great source of support in this respect.

Great networking opportunities

Chamber events are always well organised and offer wonderful networking opportunities. Venues are chosen well and are always informative and helpful. I would recommend these for any business's small or large as a way to connect and grow.

Amazing experience as always!

Great experience from start to finish with the Chamber. The team are always on hand and willing to help!

I look after three restaurants in the city and having the Chamber's support has helped drive our business and make valuable connections. Our restaurants were featured in the Venue Collective which is a great iniatiative from the team to help showcase different operators!

An absolute no-brainer for any business owner

The Chamber have been truly fabulous every single step of the way over the last year. It is so refreshing as a business owner to know the support is always there will very helpful and friendly staff.

Every person I have dealt with at The Chamber have been brilliant and I cannot fault a thing about my membership. The networking events are so well thought-out and organised and I've made some fabulous friends along the way too.

Thank you again so so much to all the team at Greater Manchester Chamber and particularly to Clare for her support

Chamber Space

Got to use a conferencing suite within the Chamber Space for the first time recently and would definitely recommend to others.

Space on offer was perfect.

Staff couldn't do enough for you (shout out to Lea-Anne and her team).. especially with our last minute request for a hybrid offer due to our session lead having covid!

Excellent location right in the heart of Manchester city centre.

Price point was great - very cost effective for city centre.

Thanks guys.

Amazing Support

The Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce is THE best place for businesses of all sizes to receive support and advice.

I've been a member for nearly 10 years and regularly attend meetings & events to not only share experience & challenges being faced but more importantly to learn from others & network.

This is an amazing organisation which I would highly recommend to all business owners and managers.

Long term value

I have been involved with GM Chamber for over 20 years, including at one time as President then Chair. In recent years, I have experience the Chamber’s offer as a member, including the Leaders’ Networking lunches which are enjoyable and valuable. Thanks to the whole team, in particular Clive Memmott and Lucy Mulligan.

The best Chamber there is....

Fantastic Chamber, always welcoming and happy to provide advice and guidance. Johnathon in particular has been great, always keeping us to date on the latest events and ensuring we get the best out of our membership. Also the building the Chamber is situated in is spotlessly clean and beautiful, I am always happy to meet with customers here when in Manchester.

Always a great experience at Chamber…

Always a great experience at Chamber Space!

We hold a lot of events and now with us being a member of GMCC, we now host them even more at Chamber Space.

The team are always on hand and helpful from when requesting to book the venue all the way through the running of the day.

We tend to hold a lot of private Co-working days and the rooms are always so spacious, and extensions leads are always available to us. The Wi-Fi is fast and secure which is perfect for those attending. With this, we are also able to access the communal space where people take individual calls. Attendees can also help themselves to tea and coffee throughout the day and flipchart and TV screens are normally available in each of the rooms that are booked.

What goes down really well is the fact that Chamber Space can organise the catering and there are multiple options we can pick from depending on what the attendees prefer.

We normally opt for Katsouris which is one of the options and everyone loves it.

Just want to say a huge thank you to the team for helping ensure our events run as smooth as possible!

Lots of benefits

We've been a member of the Chamber for around a year and have found it very beneficial to our business.

There are real tangible benefits such as access to the member's lounge when in the city centre and access to the events that are put on. We also utilised one of the seminar rooms available at a discounted price to host a customer exhibition.

GMCC - a crucial role in your business

My view of Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce [GMCC] is it plays a crucial role in supporting businesses across Greater Manchester. It's such a powerful advocate for local businesses, providing networking opportunities, resources, and guidance. Whether you're just starting or looking to expand, the Chamber offers valuable tools, including access to business workshops, marketing opportunities, and mentorship programs.

In economic uncertainty, the Chamber has also lobbied for favourable policies and provides critical information on government programs.

They help you understand what's happening broadly in their Quarterly Economic Reviews.

They also facilitate amazing connections between businesses, like in the new GMCC Professional Services group which leads to growth and innovation amongst its members.

Overall, the Chamber of Commerce is amazing. Certainly helped my business in all the ways I've mentioned - and the staff are lovely!

Friendly and responsive team provide first rate support

Beever and Struthers have been members of the Chamber for many years. The support provided by the Chamber's friendly and responsive team is first rate and with our head office in Manchester and many of our clients in Greater Manchester and the wider North West region, the Chamber has offered us access to a wide-range of business support services, the opportunity to raise our profile through networking and the ability to have an influence in the wider policy debate.

We simply see the GMCC as an essential additional arm to our business.

We enjoy many benefits, from quality training to advise and support, and we have utilised the members lounge on a few occasions over the past few years.

We regularly contact the international team, and we have had valuable introductions to local partners who have the been able to provide services to our business.

Johnathon Ho is a brilliant link to the chamber and we thank him very much for his support of Super Poly Ltd.

Becoming a member will help your business

Kingsbrook has been a member of the Greater Manchester Chamber for around 6 months. We help business owners sell their companies for maximum value.
The Chamber is an excellent organisation to be involved with. The events ae superb, well organised and always well attended. The guys that run the Chamber are fabulously helpful too.
If you are an SME in the northwest, I seriously suggest that you have a chat with them. It will help your business.
