Have your say...

One of the ways we learn about what is working well, and where we can improve to achieve our vision ‘to enhance East Midlands businesses’, is through actively seeking and responding to feedback from our members.

You are therefore invited to participate in the annual Chamber Satisfaction Survey, so that we can understand how we are making a difference to you and your business, and where we can make improvements.

This short survey will take only around ten minutes to complete, and can be anonymous. Alternatively, if you give us your business details, we will enter you into a free prize draw for the chance to win one of three Chamber vouchers worth £250, redeemable against future events, training courses or even your membership renewal fee.

The deadline to complete the survey is Friday 30 June 2017. A full analysis of all the results will be compiled in due course, with the highlights shared with members.

Thank you in advance for completing.

David Pearson
Director of Partnerships and Member Services
