Testimonials

Accendo Coaching

As with any membership, you get out of it what you put into it. Recently, I've made some fabulous connections with members of the Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber by attending virtual networking events. I have connected with the members on linked in to learn more about them and their business and then arranged subsequent one to ones to explore potential collaborations. These one to ones have resulted in workshops being delivered together as a team and becoming referral partners`` I use my membership and it works for me. — Claire Cahill , Accendo Coaching

Taylor Tuxford Associates

We received a call from Rachel Nunn of BR Chamber a few weeks ago to see how we were during the current strange situation. The timing was good, as we had been struggling to get any sense out of our Bank over the HM Govt Coronavirus Bounce Back Loan Scheme. Although she didn’t have a direct contact herself with our specific bank, Rachel was good enough to make a few enquiries on our behalf and obtained for us a direct email address for the bank’s Regional Relationship director, who happens to be based in Sheffield. Unfortunately, despite Rachel’s best efforts, here we are 2 weeks after contacting the “Relationship Director” and five weeks after originally writing to our branch on the matter, and still waiting for a substantive reply although I have finally received an email today that may just have resolved the issue,Thank you to the BR Chamber for your support. — Rhys Taylor, Taylor Tuxford Associates

I want to say well done to all the team, I really feel the Chamber have stepped up during this uncertain time, the support and communication to members has been fantastic. Both in terms of accessing the government support and keeping the networking opportunities and communication going with the membership. — Jackie Cook, CQ Strategic Marketing Ltd

Panda IT Solutions

Panda IT’s main motivation for joining Barnsley and Rotherham Chamber of Commerce was purely to find a networking space to generate new business. After having several very Informative chats with one of the Chamber Membership Executives (Rachel Nunn) however, it quickly became apparent that there was so much more that the membership could offer us as we continue to grow our business. I found the information on the Chambers website, particularly around Health and Safety, HR and the now ubiquitous Covid crisis very useful. Rachel and the rest of the Chamber team have always been incredibly helpful and easily contactable whenever I’ve had a question that needed answering. Despite only being a member for a short time the financial outlay of joining the Chamber has all ready been returned in the form of new business generated as a direct result of new contacts made since joining. With all this in mind, membership is really a no-brainer from my point of view.’ — Rob Pinder, Panda IT Solutions

Get Ahead Virtual Agency

My first experience of any Chamber of Commerce, was meeting Rachel Nunn at one of my first networking events back in January 2020. Rachel was so supportive and helpful, giving me loads of advice on networking and the best people for me to speak to. During our 121, I instantly saw the value in joining the Chamber and although I hadn't been to any events yet, Rachel had already gone above and beyond to support me in my business. During lockdown, the Rotherham and Barnsley Chamber have been amazing, again Rachel supported throughout, checking in to make sure I had all the support I needed. Also the events were great, Shane does a great job at pulling it all together professionally but also fun. There are still many areas of support I haven't looked into, but I already feel there is so much the Chamber offers. — Jo Munroe, Get Ahead Virtual Agency

Metro Bank

I wanted to recognise Rachel, she has been of great support to us whilst we were finding our feet as our Store got postponed way back in March. She has been guiding us to the best places to network and helping to build our Brand as the new Bank in the Yorkshire community. — Michelle Slater, Metro Bank Local Director Sheffield
