CHAMBER MEMBERSHIP
Welcome
to our new Chamber Patrons and Strategic Partners from Tom Woolley, Business Growth and Membership Manager Becoming a patron of Liverpool Chamber positions an organisation as a key supporter, contributor and ambassador of not only Liverpool Chamber, but also the wider Liverpool City Region. We are delighted therefore that two organisations who share our vision for the future of the City have joined us as new Chamber Patrons. As you will have read earlier in this issue, Liverpool Chamber has relocated its headquarters to Bruntwood Works’ Cotton Exchange building. Bruntwood Works is also to become a Patron of the Chamber, allowing it to offer direct support to the Chamber’s private sector directive to support the Liverpool business ecosystem as it recovers from the pandemic. Colin Forshaw, regional director at Bruntwood Works, said: “We are excited to welcome the Liverpool Chamber to the Cotton Exchange, an organisation which shares our commitment to sustainability and wellbeing in the workplace. The Chamber has a principal role to play in helping the Liverpool City Region to emerge successfully from the pandemic and we are looking forward to working with them on this. We are also delighted to have extended our partnership with Hugh Baird College, a further education College and University

Hugh Baird College are one of the largest providers of education and training in the region, delivering over 300 courses to more than 5,000 learners. The College deliver courses across an extensive range of provisions, from 14-16 year olds and apprenticeships, to A-levels, university levels courses and adult learning, with dedicated campuses and employmentfocused results, and we are excited to work on a range of initiatives with inspirational Principal Rachael Hennigan and her team.
Strategic Partners It gives me great pleasure to welcome three new Strategic Partners to Liverpool Chamber in this issue of Well Connected. 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 Suez Recycling and Recovery UK, Morecrofts Solicitors and Jayne Moore Media as Strategic Partners of the Chamber.
Working with these organisations gives a range of exciting opportunities to Liverpool Chamber. Suez Recycling and Recovery UK are part of the world-leading SUEZ group, employing more than 5,000 people in the UK. Since 1988, they have been managing waste and water for local authority and business customers, and Liverpool Chamber are excited to work closely with the team on our Net Zero, environmental and sustainability campaigns. We would like to formally welcome Morecrofts Solicitors as a Strategic Partner of Liverpool Chamber, which will also see two special prizes being presented on behalf of the Merseyside Independent Business (MIB) Awards, organised by Morecrofts Solicitors, which have not been able to take place in 2020 or 2021. Liverpool Chamber CEO Paul Cherpeau explained: “We’re pleased to work with one of our strategic partners, Morecrofts, to deliver a cameo appearance from the MIB Awards and specifically honour the homegrown businesses that are the lifeblood of our local economy.” Alison Lobb, managing partner at Morecrofts Solicitors and chair of the policy committee at Liverpool Chamber, said: “It’s really exciting to make a guest appearance at this year’s Innovation in Business Awards and we are grateful to the Chamber for
