Richard Dawson celebrates 10 years with the West Cheshire & North Wales Chamber of Commerce

West Cheshire & North Wales Chamber of Commerce celebrates the 10-year membership milestone of Richard Dawson, The Marketing Mentor, a well-respected marketing mentor and business strategist.

Over the past decade, Richard has been an active Chamber member, building lasting relationships, mentoring fellow business owners, and helping Chamber members strengthen their marketing strategies.

A decade of business growth & connection – My Chamber journey Time flies—where did 10 years go? Well, nearly 11! I finally got around to visiting the West Cheshire & North Wales

Chamber of Commerce offices before my 11th anniversary as a member—and what a journey it’s been.

When I first joined the Chamber, I saw it as an opportunity to expand my network. At the time, I didn’t fully realize how much value it would bring to my business. Over the years, my membership has led to:

• New clients and partnerships – Many of my best business connections have come through Chamber events.

• Access to expert advice and support –The Chamber team and fellow members have provided insights that have helped me navigate challenges.

• A community of like-minded professionals – Running a business can feel isolating, but having a trusted network makes a huge difference.

But beyond that, helping other Chamber members as a mentoring client has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my journey. Over the years, I’ve supported dozens of fellow members in their business growth—each of these businesses has faced different marketing and growth challenges.

Through mentoring and strategic guidance, I’ve helped them develop clear positioning, refine their marketing efforts, and generate consistent leads. Seeing their success has reinforced why I believe in the power of Chamber membership—it’s not just about who you know; it’s about how you collaborate, support, and grow together.

Lead generation: Are you feeding your business enough?

One of the biggest challenges I see many business owners face is lead generation—ensuring a steady flow of new opportunities and converting them into paying clients. That’s why I’m excited to be the guest speaker at the Chamber’s Sales Club Event on Friday, 4th April 2025 (09:30 - 12:00), where I’ll deliver a session on "Lead Generation: Are You Feeding Your Business Enough?” Looking ahead: The next 10 years

Receiving my 10-year certificate and the first-ever Gold Star for a decade of membership was a fantastic recognition from the brilliant Chamber team! To celebrate 10+ years with the Chamber, I’m offering a FREE Marketing Strategy Sense Check for fellow members. Connect with me on LinkedIn or look on the Chamber website for more information.
