VIEW FROM The Chamber

Lochaber Chamber of Commerce represents businesses throughout Lochaber with a focus on encouraging economic growth, job creation and promoting Lochaber as a great place to live, work, study and visit.

Joining your local chamber of commerce is a great way to make local business con- nections and develop your business. As a new member, you have the opportunity to hold a business showcase event that lets you introduce what you do to your fellow members and meet new contacts. As well as your own event, it’s a fantastic benefit to come along to events at other member businesses.

Next week sees the latest in our ‘behind the scenes’ business showcase events with a site tour and buffet lunch at Marine Harvest, in the company of new director of communications Ian Roberts.

These events provide a fascinating opportunity to find out more about what really goes on behind the scenes in key local businesses as well as a great chance for members to get together and enjoy a relaxed lunch and networking.

There’s still time to sign up for next Thursday’s business showcase – simply join the chamber online and you’ll have access to all our events, as well as member support and promotion and HR, legal advice, among lots of other benefits. Last month’s visit to The Underwater Centre was a huge success, with members impressed by the facilities and range of training and testing from international companies taking place just off the shore in Loch Linnhe.

Lochaber Chamber of Commerce’s unique calendar of member-only events provides rare access behind the scenes and a fantastic opportunity for businesses of all types to make connections.
