"This was my 3rd year in succession of attending the BWiS IWD event and I'll keep coming back! The mutual support and advocacy was palpable as you walked into the reception area, and remained throughout the event. Rarely have I heard a panel more authentic and thought-provoking with their personal stories that frankly were at times tough to take in. The food was delicious and the company sparky.” Anne Schiettecatte, AMCS Performance Consulting Ltd

"Thanks to Surrey Chambers - and in particular Sarah - we were recently introduced to Tandridge District Council and had the opportunity to deliver a joint AI workshop in partnership with them for local businesses. It’s a great example of the value Surrey Chambers brings through meaningful connections and impact in the community." Billy Clackers, Managing Director at Invotra

Louise and her team at Surrey Chambers have been and continue to be a fantastic resource for our business. They have been hugely helpful and remain a great asset to not only our business, but also the SME community in Surrey and beyond.

"Very useful in terms of building relationships with local organisations”

"One of the standout aspects of my involvement has been the quality of guest speakers the Chambers bring in. For instance, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Sven Hughes, CEO of Enigma Strategic Communications. His insights into strategic communications have been both enlightening and inspiring, offering new perspectives on how to approach challenges in my own field of communications. Another memorable Executive Roundtable event allowed me to meet Matt Letley, Co-Chair for B Lab’s "B Local Surrey" group, whose passion for fostering responsible business practices resonated with me and many others at the Roundtable. His guidance on how businesses can work towards certification while also strengthening community ties was invaluable. The Executive Roundtable has given me far more than just professional connections—it’s fostered a space where I can exchange ideas, discuss challenges, and celebrate successes with like-minded peers. Surrey Chambers of Commerce is a pivotal organisation in the local business ecosystem, and being a part of it continues to bring me both personal and professional growth." Paul Zimmerman, COO, INV Group.

“Fantastic event- I felt welcomed as soon as I walked in which was so lovely considering I was the only one from my company and slightly worried about not being able to relate to all the big firms in the room! I felt accepted immediately and the atmosphere throughout the whole event was just lovely. Well done for getting together such an amazing panel- it was incredibly refreshing to have people speak so honestly about their work and why they do it. More than that it was infinitely inspiring and made me realise the power of female leadership to be able to balance compassion with strong will to get things done! Thank you once again- I'm sure everyone in the room felt it was an extremely valuable few hours spent away from their normal lives.”
