MEMBERSHIP UPDATE

Throughout the last quarter we have hosted a varied series of events, roundtables and workshops aimed at promoting growth, knowledge sharing, and generating new partnerships across a range of sectors. From property and construction, to charity networking and executive leadership – Liverpool Chamber have continued to provide a platform for meaningful connections, professional development and support for the business community.

Property and Construction Network

The Property and Construction Network, which took place in September, brought together professionals from across the sector for an afternoon of insightful discussions and networking. With key players from property development, architecture, and construction in attendance, the event focused on recent developments in the local market, sustainability practices, and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Attendees appreciated the opportunity to hear from industry experts while connecting with new potential partners in what proved to be a highly valuable gathering. Guest speakers included Nuala Gallagher and David Lord from Liverpool City Council, as well as Chris French from the University of Liverpool.

Charity Business Network

Another successful event hosted by the Chamber was the Charity Business Network. This event provided an engaging space for businesses and charitable organisations to collaborate on common goals. Attendees explored ways to generate charitable partnerships and heard inspiring stories of local impact. The networking opportunities between the business community and charitable organisations created a deeper understanding of how they can work together to benefit the city of Liverpool and beyond. Highlights included hearing from Liverpool Heartbeat about their partnership with the local Holiday Inn hotels, after they met at a previous Charity Business Network event. Robin Baynes MBE, founder of Liverpool Heartbeat, shared his plans for the upcoming year, to inspire others in the room and lead as an example for fellow businesses and charities alike. In addition, Pete Sandman, Commercial Director of City of Liverpool College, shared more information about the college’s environmental, social and governance goals, in hope of inspiring businesses and encouraging contribution.

New Members Club

Our New Members Club was another highlight in recent months, offering new members the chance to become acquainted with the wider Chamber community and find out how to make the most of their membership. This event was designed to introduce fresh faces to key contacts, allowing them to forge relationships with other businesses and established members. The event was both welcoming and productive, ensuring that new members had an opportunity to quickly integrate into the Chamber’s diverse network. Mission Success’ Dave Verburg shared his networking expertise with fellow members and Ykids’ Claire Morgans informed members about how they can support the Bootle based charity.

Well Connected and Chamber Social Events

Liverpool Chamber’s Well Connected events continue to thrive, providing essential networking opportunities for local businesses. Recent gatherings have taken place in some of the city’s most vibrant venues, including Gravity Max, Gusto, Aintree Racecourse and Marine Football Club. Each location offered a unique backdrop for forging meaningful connections and gathering insights from members and potential collaborators. These events provide a dynamic and engaging platform for professionals across various sectors to build relationships, exchange ideas, and grow their networks, reinforcing the Chamber’s commitment to fostering business growth and community engagement in Liverpool and Sefton. The Chamber Social, held at Escape Live, provided a fun and interactive networking opportunity for Chamber members. This unique event offered an unconventional approach to networking, where attendees participated in immersive escape room challenges. The informal setting helped break the ice and allowed for a more relaxed and enjoyable networking experience, bringing Chamber members closer together in a creative way.

Executive Network Event

We hosted an exclusive Executive Networking Lunch at Duke Street Market, in association with Liverpool John Lennon

Airport. The event featured Ali Gayward, UK Country Manager for EasyJet, and Airport CEO John Irving. Attendees engaged in insightful discussions on the airport’s role in connecting Liverpool with global markets, as well as taking the opportunity to network.

Chamber Insights with Bruntwood SciTech

Our Chamber Insights workshops have proved highly beneficial to members. Led by fellow members who are industry experts, this series delivered targeted workshops aimed at enhancing business skills and strategies. On the 27th of September, Dave Verburg from Mission Success, focused on how to overcome ‘Imposter Syndrome’ and on the 1st of October, Chris Dawson from 6th Door, shared his most successful sales techniques.

New Strategic Partners
