Gatwick Airport have a long relationship with Sussex Chamber as a Premier Member. Their wide range of services and events provide an excellent resource for businesses of all sizes across Sussex. The Chamber also provides a strong voice on behalf of local businesses at the national level through the British Chamber and lobbying of central government. Gatwick is particularly grateful for the hard work of the Sussex Chamber team in recent months in supporting the Airport’s key priorities to ensure business recovery from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

We really appreciate the consistent professionalism and responsiveness of Sussex Chamber’s International team for our growing export business activities. They’re genuinely helpful and always seem to go that extra little way to help their members.

We enjoy the events that the chamber puts on as it gives us a great opportunity to find out what is going on. Each event usually has a theme so we learn something; we take something away from the event that we can apply in our business. The other great thing about their events is that we get to meet other business owners or managers and can gain insights, business links in the form of customer or supplier.

Jackson Rowe would like to thank Sussex Chamber of Commerce for their invaluable support across almost 30 years - working together our locally based business has grown both nationally and internationally.

We've had a real warm welcome from Sussex Chamber since joining and the networking events we've attended have yielded some brilliant connections and clients too. Other networking events could learn a lot from them!

The chamber has opened up a whole range of conversations and really increased our local knowledge. It has been a most enjoyable year so far.

When we attend Sussex Chamber events, we are always made very welcome. The events are well-managed, the speakers of excellent quality and it's nice to experience a range of venues. Dietary considerations are always made when food is involved and the Chamber team are super friendly and professional

ACUMEN BUSINESS LAW joined Sussex Chamber immediately on its formation and it hugely contributed to the success of our firm. When joining the chamber you are truly connected to other businesses in Sussex. With Sussex Chamber, we were given opportunities to grow, learn and promote our services.

Introduction to Supervision and Team Leadership - The course was insightful, well structured and delivered in an engaging way, with a good mix of theory, content and practical elements. The key points of the course were easy to transfer to my role and helped to re-focus my method of managing a team. I would recommend this course from Sussex Chamber of Commerce to anyone looking to learn more about fundamental aspects of leadership or those looking to refresh their approach.

I would like to commend Kara Grant, Senior Customs Officer from the ChamberCustoms team. Her tenacity and professionalism following our first import following our departure from the EU saved us thousands of pounds in duty. Whereas some other organisations would have just accepted what the computer said Kara followed it through and confirmed our belief that no duty was payable and the additional mechanism required to secure nil duty. Cannot recommend Kara of her team enough. ChamberCustoms are now a key part of our team.

Being a Gold level member of the Sussex Chamber of Commerce has so many benefits! One we’ve been recently very pleased about was the opportunity to be featured within the Business Edge bi-monthly magazine with a full page editorial! We’re so pleased with the article within the June/July 2022 issue and look forward to featuring again in the future. It’s a great way to promote your business and news to the Chamber’s 20,000 readers.

We have been members of the Sussex Chamber of Commerce for many years and really value our membership. The Chamber offers fantastic opportunities to network and to keep in touch with like-minded businesses. We have also had the opportunity to speak at and take part in many Chamber events which prove to be very popular in the Sussex area. Our close working relationship with all of the staff at the Chamber works extremely well and we are certainly planning to continue our relationship with the Chamber.

The Sussex Chamber of Commerce Expo was a great opportunity to meet a wide range of Sussex companies and find out how DIT (The Department for International Trade) can help them with exports. DIT will be working with these companies and provide them with practical help and connections in overseas markets.

‘The [Expo] event was well organised with a variety of local businesses in attendance. The feel of the event was inclusive and a positive experience for us. We went with the intention of raising awareness for Events, Groups & Trade sales and we did exactly that. Made new connections with local businesses and strengthened existing.‘

‘As a certified B-Corp being an active members of the Chamber’s Construction Forum is fundamental to our, Gradient’s, mission to share, listen and help promote better business practices throughout our industry. Whether online or in person we are always warmly welcomed by the Chamber and the wider membership. Whilst many of us remain busy and excited by the prospect of a build back better and greener future, the road ahead remains unpredictable and a little scary. The Chamber allows us to come together to share our learning, challenges and ideas, and help us feel more resilient and stable as one. I hope we can start to see even more collaboration between clients, contractors, consultants and educators, and I hope for an even more diverse, inclusive and supportive construction industry. The Chamber is ideally placed to bring us together and help lead the charge.’
