BCC Annual Conference 2012 – be part of the Somerset Chamber delegation

We are now taking bookings for BCC’s 2012 Annual Conference, which will be held on 15th March at Central Hall, Westminster. The conference forms a key part of the 2012 ‘Business is Good for Britain’ campaign, emphasising the positive role that companies play in economic recovery, the growth of our communities, and in individuals’ lives.
We have some fantastic speakers confirmed, such as Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, Business Secretary Vince Cable, Transport Secretary Justine Greening, Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls and Business and Enterprise Minister Mark Prisk. We also have some exciting speakers from the business world including Willie Walsh and John Timpson, with many more speakers on the way.
We are offering 4 Somerset Chamber members the chance to attend free of charge as part of the Somerset delegation. This will be on a first come first served basis. If you wish to attend in your own capacity you will have to pay £100 + VAT for one place and £375 + VAT for five places.

Help the BCC to support YOUR business.

With a generally flat economy, the Government is looking to businesses to proactively seek out and develop growth opportunities within both domestic and international markets.
It is therefore critical that we fully understand the considerations, opportunities and barriers that businesses have in whether, when and how to extend their customer base by approaching new markets. With this knowledge, collected through this BCC Trade Survey, we can then ensure that continuing pressure is placed on government to support businesses.
I would therefore be grateful if you would spare around 10 minutes completing our online survey.

Whilst we will collate and publish findings from the survey, information that you provide will remain confidential. If you feel a colleague is more qualified to complete this survey on behalf of your organisation, please feel free to forward this message.
