ABP’s Port of King’s Lynn has teamed up with the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce to offer port companies a year’s guest membership in one of the biggest business networks in the country. As well as a thank you for their business, the scheme aims to give the port business community a bigger voice. The ABP Ports in East Anglia contribute £340 million to the UK economy each year and support over 5,000 jobs nationally. With a Chamber of Commerce membership, businesses will be able to expand their reach and influence in professional networks and grow their business support services. James Cooper, ABP Chief Executive, said: “We take our responsibility to contribute to the economic wellbeing of the region seriously. One of the best ways to do that is to support our customers to make the connections they need to become even more successful. “By making their voice heard and taking part in the business life of the region, they will also have the chance to play a part in making our region a better place to do business. And that’s something we can all benefit from.” The Norfolk Chamber of Commerce offers members a multitude of services including: lobbying at local and national levels, support for key business functions at a discounted rate and connection and networking opportunities for their business. Each local Chamber of Commerce is run by and for their members offering a dedicated focus on improving conditions for local business members. Caroline Williams CEO Norfolk Chamber of Commerce said: “It has never been a more important time for the business community to work together to do better business and to ensure their collective voice is heard by local and national government. We very much look forward to working closely with ABP and their customers through this very innovative scheme.” To request a brochure or to find out more information please call 01292 670144 or email [email protected] and quote ‘ABP Guest Membership Offer’.
