STRATEGIC MEMBERS - KEY TO WIRRAL’S ECONOMIC GROWTH Key to the aspirations of Wirral Chamber of Commerce is ensuring membership and business community are a crucial part of Wirral’s economic growth. To create the platform which will bring about proactive partnership and participation, Wirral Chamber of Commerce has created a new Strategic Partner membership category to enable Wirral’s industrial and commercial leaders to be involved in shaping its voice through their specialism and thought leadership. In addition to all the benefits of basic level membership, the Strategic level offers members the opportunity to be part of an exclusive group which will help to inform and shape business policy at local, regional and national levels. Through this collaboration, influential and successful organisations will bring significant support to achieving goals and delivering economic benefits to Wirral. Paula Basnett, CEO, Wirral Chamber of Commerce is delighted with the positive response received so far with 15 Wirral businesses already forming part of the new business alliance. She said, “We are looking to address our future economic and growth opportunities from a position of business strength. There will be many changes and challenges with issues such as Brexit, Northern Powerhouse and Devolution, so it is essential that Wirral’s strongest asset, our businesses, have the opportunity to be involved in a range of support through forming an exclusive group. Strategic members will be able to work with the Chamber closely and network together with many of the most powerful and influential business leaders in our community.” STRATEGIC MEMBERS • • • • • • • • AEV Ltd AFGlobal UK DLA Piper UK LLP Heap & Partners Ltd Heatons Office Solutions Ltd Horner Downey Kingsbridge Insurance Brokers McEwan Wallace Ltd 34 wirrallife.com • • • • • • • Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure Ltd NatWest NW Systems Group Limited Regal Wholesale Ltd Smylie Ltd Stiebel Eltron UK Ltd Wabtec Faiveley UK PAULA BASNETT, WIRRAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BENEFITS OF BEING A STRATEGIC MEMBER • • • • • • • • Become part of the Wirral Advisory Group A sector voice in influencing and driving policy Networking opportunities to develop links with like- minded Wirral business leaders Exclusive invitations for policy updates and briefings Round table discussion dinners, with Wirral Chamber CEO and Directors Priority bookings on all Wirral Chamber events Personal Account Manager from Senior Leadership Team to support and guide business growth Participate in educational engagement to develop curriculum fostering and inspiring next generation entrepreneurship Call 0151 650 6940 or email [email protected] to find out more about what becoming a Strategic Partner means for you and your business.
