As businesses emerge from the challenges posed by COVID-19, it has been encouraging to witness the volume of organisations making ambitious plans not only for recovery, but to develop an ever stronger position than before.
We are delighted that so many companies have recognised that retaining their Strategic Partnership or Patron status within Liverpool Chamber is key to this success, and would like to thank them for their ongoing support.
Chief Executive Paul Cherpeau explained: “The strength of the Chamber relies on the strength of its members and partners - and I’m thrilled to welcome our new patrons, partners and members into the Chamber family. They each bring with them their own sector-specific expertise, and together I think we will do great things. They are all incredibly successful and ambitious businesses in their own right and fantastic ambassadors for the Chamber and the city region.”
Becoming a patron of the Chamber positions an organisation as a key supporter, contributor and ambassador of not only Liverpool Chamber, but also the
wider Liverpool City Region. I am delighted therefore that organisations who share our vision for the future of the City have joined us as new Chamber Patrons.
Wates, Rutherford Health, Liverpool Hope University, BT, Sutcliffe and RSM all join the Chamber at top level - with a host of other big businesses also set to come on board in Q2.
Sutcliffe MD Sean Keyes said: “The Chamber’s knowledge, expertise and passion for the city region business community is second to none, and I have always said that a successful Chamber means for a more successful regional economy. Only by working together as a team will we exit the pandemic with confidence as we build to a brighter future.”
We are also delighted to welcome four Strategic Partners to Liverpool Chamber.
Working closely with these members allows us to ensure that the companies have representation at our most prominent events, engage with us on policy activity and are featured in all of our communications channels. They also help to shape the Chamber’s voice with industry specialism and thought leadership, and so we are thrilled to announce such high profile organisations as Clatterbridge Private Clinic, MSIF, MSP Studios and Enterprise Rent a Car, from whom Kate Jones, Lead Fleet and Mobility Consultant within the Business Rental Department (North West of England) said: “Enterprise Rent A Car are delighted to announce our status as Strategic Partners of Liverpool Chamber. This partnership is crucial to our aspirations to grow the business within Merseyside and beyond, and we look forward to being an active member of Liverpool Chamber, contributing to the growth of our fellow members and the Liverpool City Region as a whole.”
Working with these organisations gives a range of exciting opportunities to Liverpool Chamber, for example working with MSIF signposting members across the Liverpool City Region to the wide range of funding available to them. Funding is available from as little as £500 right up to £2 million+ for a variety of business needs including start-ups, expansions, acquisitions and management buy outs/buy ins, so this is a perfect partnership for Liverpool Chamber, reflective of our diverse range of members and their varying needs.
The new Clatterbridge Cancer Centre is a ground-breaking addition to the Liverpool City Region’s healthcare provision, and we are delighted to add Clatterbridge Private Clinic to our roster of Strategic Patrons. Offering exceptional care and treatment plans, and recognised by all major UK insurers, the Private Clinic is an outstanding complementary provision to our incredible NHS, and an organisation we are proud to support.
Finally, our extensive events programme would not have been as successful without the support of our Strategic Partner MSP Studios. The professionalism, adaptability and technical knowledge of MSP Studios has been second to none in hosting a range of Liverpool Chamber events, and we encourage all members to have a chat with the team about how they can bring your next event, conference or important Zoom call to life.
If you would like to discuss how Strategic Partnership or Patronage to Liverpool Chamber can support your business, please contact Tom Woolley via tom.woolley@liverpoolchamber.org.uk.
Supporting members
with our Business Growth Programme
If 2020 has been a challenging year on so many levels for business then 2021 has got to be the year for recovery. This recovery is more difficult due to the drains on resources the majority of companies have suffered. To aid in your recovery there are two fully funded programmes, both of which start in January to get your recovery off to a solid start in 2021. Both programmes are being delivered or facilitated by Chamber member Gary Halpin of Flourish.
Peer Network is funded by BEIS and delivered locally by Growth Platform. This programme is aimed at SMEs with a turnover of at least £100k and employing 5 people or more. Groups of decision makers from businesses within LCR meet via Zoom to support each other utilising an Action Learning Process. The programme has got off to an excellent start with delegates saying how useful it has been to have a number of talented business people with an external and different viewpoint provide support. More details follow the link Flourishandgrow.uk
The Business Growth Programme is for all SMEs within LCR, a series of 10 workshops covering all aspects of business with a real focus on finding and winning new business in a pragmatic and profitable way taking account of the impact of the pandemic. 35 businesses have completed the programme and their feedback has been excellent.
