The Chamber of Trade and Commerce aims to give businesses in Penrith a voice, increase networking opportunities and communicate news and events relevant to you.
The benefits of membership give individual businesses the opportunity to be represented within one group. Being non-political the Chamber can oppose any local issues, which may affect the business community. We receive no public funding and rely entirely on the subscriptions of our members in order to operate.
Benefits of becoming a member include:
A strong voice - collectively, local Penrith businesses can make an impact on issues that effect the success of the area.
More influence - together we can inform and influence economic development strategies.
Increased trading and promotion - the Chamber brings together potential suppliers and customers to mutual benefit.
Community spirit - involvement in projects at the very heart of your local community.
Networking - an opportunity to meet with like-minded business people and make new contacts
Business meetings – with informative speakers covering various business related topics
Social events – a series of fun, new social events, including a summer BBQ, Lakeland walk and themed annual dinners
E-newsletters – including the most up to date information, news and events with an opportunity to promote your business.
Exclusive offers – money off discounts, competitions and exclusive offers only for members.
