Members based in Hereford will now be able to access face-to-face support from the Membership team at the Chamber with the new Herefordshire drop-in sessions. Taking place at the newly refurbished Shell Store, every first Wednesday of the month from 10.00am-12.00pm, this will be your chance to discuss any support that your business needs or get any guidance in regards to how you can make the most of your Membership.
This will be a great opportunity for the Chamber to provide its Herefordshire-based Members with direct support that they may need. The brand-new drop in sessions will support the Chamber’s aim of expanding its physical presence within the Hereford area, after the Chamber announced last year a brand-new Herefordshire base within the Shell Store.
