Greater Manchester Chamber Reviews 35

Our firm joined the Chamber last year, and they have been instrumental in helping us to not only grow in Manchester, but throughout the UK. My Chamber mentor is always happy to help me strategise around business development, programming, and event attendance.

The whole team is always so kind and welcoming when I work from the Members' Lounge as well. The team puts on great networking and educational events as well. I always get so excited to see everyone and catch up with them! They truly care about their members and about growing the economy of Greater Manchester. I am so proud to be a GMCC member!

We've been members of the chamber of commerce since our business started 10 years ago, and can honestly say our relationship with the chamber has been critical to our business growth and success.

The team at the chamber are highly knowledgeable and supportive, supporting us in our business growth within Greater Manchester, making introductions to other businesses for us and giving advice and guidance where necessary.

We have attended innumerable chamber events over the years, and have made genuine business connections and won new clients as a result. In particular the Leader's Lunches are extremely valuable for us and a fairly solid source of leads.

We have also made us of chamber online resources over the course of our membership, including draft legal and policy documents, crucial to us as a feldgling business all those years ago.

Finally, the member's lounge is an often overlooked but fantastic coworking space right in the heart of Manchester, completely free of charge for members. It's insane value for money given the skyrocketing coworking prices in the city centre, I'm always amazed at how many other businesses don't capitalise on this as members.

Overall I have so many good things to say about the chamber, and would highly recommend to any local businesses looking to either grow their network, get their relevant paperwork in order, or simply access lounge space and feel more embedded in the community.

We have been a member of the GM chamber for many years and I just say the experience we have had has been second to none.

The Chamber is a personable, relationship based organisation which represents its members in every way they can.

The team is always approachable and they help foster good relationships between their members and outer business’s.

For anyone wanting to be part of the Manchester fabric, I’d advise you speak with the team at GM chamber of Commerce.

I have attended a number of GMCC networking events and found them to be very informative, well attended and interactive. The Chamber has an extensive calendar of over 150 events held across Greater Manchester each year, so there are lots of occasions to connect and raise your profile, plus there are lots of other business benefits with GMCC. I would highly recommend you join.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to Diana Elebert-Morgan and the GMCC team. The Holiday Inn Bolton has been a member of the GMCC for many years, and we deeply appreciate the partnership we've built. The business referrals we receive are consistently of the highest calibre, and we're grateful for the continued support. If you're not yet a member, we highly recommend joining!

We recently needed a EU VAT number to export goods to the EU with advice received from the International Team at GM Chamber we were set up and trading in Europe in no time.

We have been with the GMCC for a few years and absolutely love their Networking events. the P&C events are the icing on the cake. Diane Elebert-Morgan heads up this group and manages this seamlessly, I have built several fantastic relationships from the P&C events and also enjoyed their special events such as their lunches and Dinners, the highlight for me are their Wigan, Bolton and Bury Construction Club which are always pertinent to my sector... keep up the amazing work.

D+H UK are proud to be a member of GMCC. We have a long and successful partnership with the Property and Construction Group and sponsor several events throughout the year culminating in the Manchester Cathedral Carol Concert. I have no hesitation in name checking Diane Elebert Morgan as the dynamic force of nature who just gets it done. I urge everyone in any Greater Manchester business to pop along to Elliot House and see what the Chamber can do for you. However, the old adage still rings true: "the more you put in, the more you get out". Sign up for the next Quarterly Economic Summit (QES) and listen to the passion of Subrahmaniam - he makes economics exciting and accessible for the masses. I understand that GMCC is the largest chamber in the country, it is also the best.

I am genuine in saying that all my experiences with GMCC, from visiting their office and using the remote working area and having a lovely coffee to attending some of their amazingly organised events.

Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. A special mention to Diane Elebert-Morgan, Membership & Commercial Development Manager | Property & Construction Group Manager who is undoubtedly the best host I have ever had the pleasure to meet and it leaves me wondering why she isn't hosting TV events.

In my role I connect the Business School with organisations in the North West, and the Chamber has been catalyst for multiplying the quality, and value of our connections to the Greater Manchester community. The support we receive has been outstanding, whether that be through events, awareness building, introductions, or connections. The team at Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce are approachable, knowledgeable, and inspiring professionals. I highly recommend connecting with the team to see where their expertise, network and support can take you.

We have been members of the Chamber for just over a year, and we have found it to be an invaluable support to us. As a small non-profit, having access to working space and the fantastic resources that Chamber provides has been so helpful in growing our organisation and connecting with others. We have attended a range of their member events, and built some great relationships with other businesses as a result.
Lea-Anne, Lewis and the whole team are all very friendly, professional and supportive and we feel very valued as members.
We regularly use the members lounge and book rooms to run events and training, and there is always a lot of communication and support from the team. The venue itself is great, as it is very central, but also modern and has all the equipment we need to run events. We will continue our membership and have recommended to others to join the Chamber as well.

Nybble has been a member of Greater Manchester Chamber for many years and membership has allowed us to significantly grow our Manchester Customer base and wider business exposure, mainly through our presence in the Member Space. We hold regular meetings and 'surgeries' in the Member space and the facilities, ambiance and clean and bright decor are perfect for doing business - their great connectivity also helps.
Plenty of meeting rooms are available and the events and networking programmes the Chamber delivers on a weekly and monthly basis make the Chamber one of our most important channels for new customer acquisition.
Annual renewal is one of the easier business decisions we have to make.

The GMCC team are amazingly helpful and provide such a positive open working space.
