Shepton Mallet Chamber - What do you want?
Join us on Monday 7th June for an open discussion for members about what you want from your Chamber and get to meet other member businesses from Shepton Mallet and the surrounding area on our first, and hopefully last, virtual meeting via Teams.
As you know face to face meetings have been on hold due to the pandemic and ongoing restrictions, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. The Chamber hopes to be able to organise some face-to-face meetings, workshops, and networking events a little later in the year, but we want to know what you need?
- Is it? …
Social Media training?
Data Protection training?
Business branding?
Something else???
- Would you like to attend Breakfast meetings or maybe a networking drinks & nibbles evening?
Something else???
- If we had guest speakers, what topics would you like information on at a networking meeting?
Grant funding?
Something else???
Come along and tell us your ideas, you don’t have to have lots, one or two will be sufficient as everyone will have different needs and hopefully, we will have a long list to work with from everyone who attends.
Book you free spot here - https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/shepton-mallet-chamber-what-do-you-want-tickets-157070850141
