Sharon Smith, CEO for Herefordshire and Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce shares how you can raise your business profile, develop your skills and gain support from the local community.

The Chamber provides support for the business community through such activities to build sustainable local economic growth.

As a business you can enjoy greater prominence in local markets and ultimately increased sales.

Sharon discusses how marketing activities such as events and networking play a vital role, including sector-specific business forums, conferences, expos and award ceremonies.

Training and personal development are key themes with the Chamber offering courses on marketing, PR, sales and customer care.

Collaboration is critical for business growth, so the professional service forums in the Chamber provide an opportunity to increase connections, referrals and offer added value to clients.

The Chamber thrives on member participation in activities such as content sharing, newsletter updates, promotional pieces and even netwalking and cross-border networking!

All of which upholds its original vision to Connect, Create and Celebrate!
