“However, we realise that we can’t achieve this on our own and therefore we are committed to working with other like-minded businesses who want to continue to make Staffordshire Moorlands a great area to live and work.
“As such, we regard our membership and patronage of the Chambers of Commerce as being an important way of building stronger relationships with the wider business community.
“The chamber does a fantastic job in representing and supporting local business and we are keen to help them influence and support strategies to build the long-term success of the region.
“As one of the largest employers in the Staffordshire Moorlands, a key pillar of our business strategy is to play a positive role in the local economy and community.
“We aim to be an employer of choice and work hard to build strong relationships with local schools and further education providers.
“Through a range of initiatives, we seek to build awareness of exciting career opportunities and foster the skills and attitudes we are looking for from the next generation of employees.”
