Esther Guy Accounting4contractors LtdI was recently at the Surrey Chambers Power Breakfast at Sandown Park Racecourse what a fantastic venue and breakfast. There was a good group of people, all with ‘can do’ attitudes as well as an engaging speaker. I obtained a number of new contacts and received further networking opportunities. I also felt that I had come from the breakfast having learnt something new which is a big bonus!

Jarmila Yu YUnique MarketingI attended the Heathrow Summit conference and had the great good fortune of spending some time with Gary Hayes & Andy Willmott who were a real credit to the Chamber. If anyone is wondering whether being a Chamber member could help their business know this, they helped me with their knowledge of local contacts and we're in Cornwall! Thanks for your time fellas and keep up the good work!
Spencer Hassell ADi Access"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."
