Proud to be part of the Accredited BCC network and today sees the launch of our manifesto to the Prime Minister and the Gov’t. Take a look and let me know what you think. Don’t forget at a local level, if there are any issues effecting your business get in touch.

Shevaun Haviland: "The Chancellor has stayed true to his word in focusing on financial stability and targeting support for the most vulnerable in society. But in the teeth of a recession, this statement will not increase business confidence." Our reaction 👇 britishchambers.org.uk/news/2022/11/a…

Fantastic company selling goods all over the world. Congratulations on the award as well. 👏👏👏

Very disappointing news for South Cheshire Chamber of Commerce & Industry business community and area. Delays will simply mean we don’t reap the benefits of the infrastructure project sooner. Difficult for businesses and local regeneration boards to plan for the future when there are ongoing changes.

Excellent news this morning. South Cheshire Chamber of Commerce & Industry Patrons Bentley Motors have recorded their best results in company history. Synonymous with Crewe and the wider region it’s a testament to all those involved including the tremendously skilled workforce based in the town.

We have recently launched two new maps on our website highlighting our comprehensive network of 53 UK Accredited Chambers and 79 British Chambers of Commerce and business groups across the world.🗺 UK Chambers👉 ow.ly/iJ6r50NmYz4 Global Chambers👉 ow.ly/wsYO50NmYz5

It was a disappointing day for Crewe and South Cheshire losing out to Derby as the home of Great British Railways. I’d like to thank all the South Cheshire Chamber of Commerce & Industry businesses who voted and backed the bid. While not successful, Crewe and South Cheshire has a bright future.

Currently at the High Speed Rail group conference Crewe Hall finding out the latest on HS2 and how it’ll impact the local area. Fantastic opportunity for the area and we can start taking advantage of it now.

Scrapping HS2 phase 2 would be a disgrace. Andy Burnham is spot on. We desperately need this infrastructure to support levelling up. It’s not just about speed it’s about capacity and local lines being freed up and the movement of freight.

Hard to believe that the PM and his Gov could derail HS2 phase 2. No one in the North saw this decision coming, which tells you how monumental a decision stopping the development of phase 2 would be. Saving money? The consequences of not building it will be even more costly

Michael Heseltine and I both welcome the seriousness that Sunak has restored to No10. We’ve both delivered big infrastructure when money is tight. We write ⁦The Times and The Sunday Times⁩ on why cancelling HS2 would be an economic disaster + a betrayal of the north thetimes.co.uk/article/222230…

Let’s hope the speculation to cancel phase 2 is incorrect. There has been uproar from the private and public sector in North since this speculation has arisen. The PM must listen and continue to build this much needed infrastructure.

We’ve had “Northern Powerhouse” & “Levelling up”. Well we have another slogan to discuss “Network North”. Economic facts of HS2 are still relevant. The network needs additional capacity to cater for freight to be moved up & down the country. It’s not just about high speed rail

Small and medium sized businesses are the beating heart of our local economy. I can't wait to get to work with South Cheshire Chamber of Commerce & Industry and others to deliver for Crewe and Nantwich.
