'The most powerful process any company can adopt to improve productivity and competitiveness is the transfer of best practice'
Through our regular meetings and events, held locally
and featuring guest speakers with a wide range of information relevant to all,
the Chamber encourages the sharing of knowledge between businesses of all kinds
and between the members of our community.
These events are informal, with one of the main objectives to encourage
questions and dialogue with the speakers. This will assist to understand
the implications for a small business as well as to the community
we live in.
