History was made at Warwick Castle when a powerful new business alliance was formed.
For the first time, the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce and the Chambers of Trade for Warwick, Leamington and Kenilworth met to network and exchange ideas.
Individual Chambers of trade have attended Chamber of Commerce meetings before and are all members, but the networking session – attended by around 50 businesses – was the first joint event between all four bodies.
Peter Burns, president of the Chamber of Commerce, said: “The Chambers of Trade have a very local geographical remit, whereas we represent businesses from right across Coventry and Warwickshire.
“This means we have different but very complementary perspectives on the business environment so it makes perfect sense for us to network and share our views and opinions. It was a very worthwhile event in a stunning setting.”
