Our brand-new way of networking… 

Chamber Co.nnects are fortnightly network meetings for its members to network and chat with other businesses in a digital space.

Enjoy from the comfort of your own home with no early starts or commute and make sure to make a coffee and bring a smile to this online video meeting. 

Who’s it for? 

Business owners, managers, entrepreneurs, start-ups, young businesses and anyone who wants to connect and engage with other businesses in the Norfolk area.

About the presenter

Kathy Ennis has over 20-years of business experience and is an expert in helping Micro and Side-Hustle businesses start-up, scale and turn their passion for their idea into a profitable business.

As a successful Business Mentor and Trainer, Kathy has a no-nonsense, you can do it attitude. She will listen, absorb and give a guiding hand in the right direction, but she’s no push-over. She’s been there, done that and bought the T-shirt; she knows that success and failure go hand-in-hand and that business planning is the missing link between passion and profit.

Kathy loves her role as a trainer and an ambassador on the Facebook #SheMeansBusiness campaign; a role she was handpicked for by the leading UK small business organisation, Enterprise Nation.

Richard Sheehan, CEO of Shropshire Chamber of Commerce in conversation with Andrea Reynolds CEO of Swoop, will share through conversation how businesses can finance their post-Covid recovery and protect their financial health.

Andrea will share her in-depth knowledge of the funding options available, both government and non-government, and discuss how to maximise your chances of successful funding. You’ll also learn about funding options you’ve possibly never considered spanning equity, grants and loans. She will be responding to real issues such as the realisation that your Bounce Back loan isn’t enough to see you through recovery, or the worry of how to meet your loan repayments in the future.

You will hear about:

• cost savings – revealing how much businesses are overpaying on everyday expenses from banking to utilities
• how to easily get this cash back and improve your bottom line

Swoop are partners of the BCC and work with a number of Chambers across the Accredited Chamber Network to deliver Chamber Finance Finder.

Tuesday 28 July – 9.00am – 9.45am (UK time)

Open to UK Chambers and members

Please note that registration closes 1 hour before the start time.

With global economic conditions likely to remain challenging in the near term, and the impact of the global pandemic and upcoming end of the transition period making way for further uncertainty for UK business, Dr Adam Marshall, BCC Director General will be joined in conversation by Andrew Bailey, the Governor of the Bank of England for our Global Insights Leaders Programme virtual event.

Discussions will focus on the Bank’s monetary policy decision to significantly expand quantitative easing, how it works with financial institutions to ensure that measures taken translate into on the ground support for businesses, and what further steps will be needed to ensure a fiscal environment that limits economic scarring and helps kickstart a recovery.

In order to comply with GDPR, the British Chambers of Commerce will not share your personal details with anyone unless you inform us you are happy for us to do so.
