Hull & Humber Chamber Survey results revealed

THE Chamber of Commerce is saying a big thank you to everyone who kindly took the time to complete our survey.

The winner of the two free flights to Amsterdam is Joanne Heywood, the regional manager for When You Wish Upon A Star, a charity which makes dreams come true for children with terminal and incurable illnesses. The tickets will be winging their way over to Joanne shortly, so she can start planning her trip!!

We would like to thank Humberside International Airport and Dutch airline KLM for their kind support.

By way of feedback, here are some of the survey’s key findings.

When asked how Chamber activities and membership benefits are rated, Networking Opportunities were again the clear frontrunner with 54% of people saying such events are either good or excellent.

The results of the survey were discussed at the Chamber Board’s Away Day meeting this week and some concerns were raised at one member’s request for us to put on a winter tobogganing event! But if there’s a strong enough demand . . .

So thank you again for your help and support. Your responses to our survey will be used to help us further improve what we do and to make decisions about our future offer.

We look forward to seeing you at a Chamber event soon.
