MEMBERSHIP UPDATE
Hear about what the membership team have been up to throughout the past quarter Our hugely successful monthly #WellConnected networking event is already a hit, continually selling out with 140 attendees and usually hosted in a city centre venue. In addition to the monthly #WellConneted, we have now launched #WellConnectedNorth and #WellConnectedSouth, which are specifically dedicated to businesses in these regions of the city.
Lizzie Johnson Head of Commercial Services As the Chamber continues to grow, we are dedicated to supporting businesses across the city. With this in mind, we’ve expanded our networking events to cover both the south of the city and Sefton. This growth is being driven by our new Membership and Business Growth Managers, Helen and Tom, who joined the team back in June. Helen is on hand for our members in Sefton and Tom is here for members in south Liverpool.
The first #WellConnectedNorth event took place on the 22nd of September; a sell-out, with all 60 tickets being snapped up within 48 hours of being added to the Liverpool Chamber website. This demand for tickets demonstrates the immense appetite for Chamber support in the North of the city. The Lake House in Crosby was the perfect venue for this event, with views of the Sefton coast creating the perfect backdrop to a busy morning of networking. #WellConnectedSouth is set to be another huge hit, with requests for tickets coming in thick and fast, before it’s even been
added to our online events listings. Again, a reminder to us that the impact of the chamber extends well outside of the city centre. #WellConnectedSouth is due to take place at another fantastic venue, Strawberry Field, on the 20th of October. Being the first #WellConnected event dedicated solely to South Liverpool, we welcome both members and none members to attend, with no charge to none members. If you are a business based in either Sefton or South Liverpool, Helen and Tom, as well as the wider Chamber team are always just a phone call away – please don’t hesitate to get in touch. For all of our event listings, please visit the Liverpool Chamber website.

Following our successful launch of the Charity Business Network in 2022, we encourage members to explore the advantages of corporate partnerships for the positive impact they have upon businesses, charities, and the local community. Many of our members and BID levy payers have existing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives in place, making the event a perfect opportunity to further support local charities. The event was filled with dynamic discussions, productive networking, and insights into aligning business values with charitable endeavours. We believe that there are plenty of untapped possibilities for our members and BID levy payers to collaborate with local charities, creating a
stronger sense of community and shared purpose. We’re proud to have showcased the potential for businesses and charities to collaborate together and we look forward to continuing this journey. Fostering connections that transcend the boundaries of the Liverpool business community, and collectively making Liverpool an even more compassionate and prosperous city.
