“Invaluable Business Support During Difficult TImes”

“The Ayrshire Chamber has provided us, as a member, invaluable business support during this difficult time. I have found the HR service particularly helpful. There is so much information available online that is all free of charge and readily available to all members. I have also spoken to the helpline where I got very professional advice again free of charge. The Ayrshire Chamber provides a business support service that I would really recommend that all businesses take advantage of, and I think it is particularly evident at the moment during the difficult time of the pandemic, just how much support the Ayrshire Chamber offers to provide. It is good also to support local businesses, and the Ayrshire Chamber has been able to provide details of local businesses that we can use to provide us with the equipment to make our offices safe for our eventual return to work. It is good to work together, support each other and keep the business local.”

“The opportunity to network within the local business community is a huge benefit”

“Having the opportunity to network within the local business community is a huge benefit for me and for the business. Some members of the chamber may be direct competitors but in truth, what is good for one company is also good for another, so the ability to discuss issues that affect business in general is valuable and the chamber is an excellent channel to do this through. The team at the Ayrshire Chamber are always very approachable, helpful and open to listening to our ideas, which is a big benefit for us.”

“I’ve been singing the Chambers praise quite a lot recently! ”

“When I meet someone who isn’t a member because “it’s not worth it” I find myself reeling off some of the benefits I have accessed. I have received support in the Mentoring programme which has been priceless, and the huge range of business boosts and training through the chamber I have attended have been very worthwhile. As well as the knowledge I’ve gained from the business boosts, I have many connections and have recently been able to use their expertise independently.”
