SPRINGING INTO ACTION: A THRIVING START TO OUR ANNIVERSARY YEAR!

So far in 2025, our Well Connected events have brought together professionals across various industries in some of Liverpool’s most iconic venues. January saw us kick off the year at Gino’s Sky Bar, offering stunning views alongside invaluable networking opportunities. February’s event took place at the Walker Art Gallery, providing a unique and inspiring setting for connections to flourish.

Our Well Connected series isn’t limited to city centre venues, with February’s gathering at The Lakehouse in Waterloo providing an excellent setting for Sefton based businesses to connect, followed by a fantastic event in March at The Reader in Calderstones Park, where attendees enjoyed meaningful conversations in a beautiful, historic setting.

In March we were joined by Steve Rotheram and Liam Robinson to host a special event, welcoming a delegation from the Isle of Man to strengthen business ties between our regions. With the presence of Isle of Man Chief Minister, Alfred Cannan MHK, as well as both Liverpool and Isle of Man business leaders, the event provided a fantastic opportunity to build new relationships and explore opportunities for collaboration. During the event a memorandum of understanding was signed between the two regions, highlighting both parties’ shared commitment. Our Insights workshops have provided members with valuable learning opportunities, covering critical topics such as supporting employees through baby loss with The Women’s Hospital, and organisational structuring with Privilege HR. Looking ahead, we’re excited to offer further sessions with experts from Courtney Tender Services, Matchstick Creative, SquareOne Training and the University of Liverpool. Please keep an eye on the Chamber socials, newsletter and website for information about future sessions. Our Charity Business Network, in collaboration with Liverpool BID, was another standout event, held at the Delta Hotel. Guest speakers included Barry Grigg from HSBC, who discussed HSBC’s support for charities, David Andrews from SquareOne Training, who highlighted funded training opportunities for the sector, and John Hyland from Sahir House, who shared insights into their work and future initiatives.

Additionally, we partnered with Liverpool City Council’s Business Support Services to host the South Liverpool Business Forum at the Crowne Plaza in Speke. This event, chaired by Mark Ord, of Speke Training and Education Centre, brought together businesses to discuss growth and collaboration in the area. Attendees heard from representatives from Algeos, Amicis Group and Nexatrak about their business journeys. The event also featured networking opportunities, a marketplace and workshops on HR structuring and Liverpool’s Inclusive Economic Growth Strategy, giving businesses a chance to contribute to shaping the city’s future.

It’s been a busy quarter as we continue to celebrate our 175th year! We look forward to more exciting events, opportunities for engagement and supporting our members in making valuable connections. Here’s to an incredible year ahead!
