BCC – the British Chamber of Commerce, of which Renfrewshire Chamber is a fully-accredited member – recently released their benchmarking survey comparing all the accredited Chambers against one another.
Renfrewshire Chamber produced its best-ever results, highlights of which were:
- No.1 in UK for member growth at >25 per cent
- Highest penetration of any Chamber in Scotland >15 per cent
- 2nd for member retention in Scotland at >84 per cent
- Now process more export docs than any other Chamber in Scotland – now approaching 13,000
- No of Chamber events – no.1 in Scotland with 100 events in a year
These figures show how Renfrewshire Chamber has grown and developed over the last couple of years. As a result of this performance they are short listed for Chamber of the Year 2011 at the BCC National Awards on the 24th Nov in the Grand Connaught Rooms London.
Commenting on the positive results, Chamber chief executive, Bob Davidson, said: “The Chamber team with support from our board of directors led by president, Tom Johnston, have worked extremely hard to get Renfrewshire Chamber to where it is today.
“But we are not finished – we have some ambitious plans in place, including extending our work with schools and on track to reach 600 members by March 2012.
“We really are helping Renfrewshire grow and prosper – we have some truly fantastic businesses across Renfrewshire – with the M74/M80 improvements and Glasgow Airport bang in the middle – it is a great location to be based.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our members for their continued support.”
The Chamber recently had it prestigious annual business awards – The ROCCOs held ever year at the Normandy Hotel.
Hosted by Fred MacAulay, the event was attended by 470 guests, with 11 awards presented and over £10K raised for local charities on the night including St Vincent’s Hospice.
