Raise your Company profile by sponsoring a Chamber breakfast...

With up to 100 delegates now attending our Breakfasts, what better way to raise your company profile to this captive audience!  Sponsorship would include your business banner displayed prominently at the event, and your logo on the invitation and delegate list.  There would also be the opportunity to give a 2 minute talk to all delegates introducing your business, hand out your literature and a follow up eshot to all Chamber contacts.

Feedback from our Sponsors:

I wanted to thank you for allowing us to take the sponsorship on Friday at the Ken Clarke MP Business Summit Lunch. We were pleased to do this at what was a high quality event. We would be keen to be given sight of future events for consideration.

"51 Pegasus Ltd have, on occasion, been involved in sponsorship at Chamber events which we have been more than happy to do. Recently we sponsored a breakfast meeting and as always, Lisa was quick to offer assisitance regarding the set up and advised us on how to ensure the morning ran smoothly. It was very successful and I am grateful to Lisa for her support with this and also The Chamber Ball which we jointly sponsored last year. 

The Chamber of Commerce is well regarded locally and its profile continues to grow. The excellent attendance at the events and the Business Breakfasts is testament to this. The events are extremely well run and are not only helpful for business but very enjoyable toAdditionally, there is a tremendous amount of information which comes through from the Chamber regarding activities of other local businesses, offers of help and advice, business forums and details of local events of interest etc.

Lisa has always been an excellent point of contact and is an excellent representative of the Chamber of Commerce."

"The St Albans Chamber St George's Day Lunch has become one of the highlights of the year and the event attracts a capacity crowd. Many local businesses of all sizes either take tables or have key people attending and therefore from the point of view of a sponsor it is an ideal audience. At Handelsbanken we sponsored the main course of the lunch in 2008 and this gave us some excellent publicity and helped to increase our profile. I have no hesitation is recommending the event to potential sponsors and I regard it as money well spent."

"Dear Chamber,

Just to say – thank you for organising such a fantastic lunch last Friday!   It was obviously the business lunch of the year, judging by the number in attendance – it was definitely a case of all the great and the good of the local business community!  The service, food and atmosphere were excellent and the speaker most entertaining and our guests have already asked for the date of next year’s lunch.

So well done – we would have no hesitation in recommending the event – it’s a great opportunity to meet up with colleagues old and new in a relaxed way."

Ginny Cooper, Women in Business co-ordinator &  St Albans Enterprise Agency

"May I pass on my thanks & congratulations to the Chamber for a truly splendid St George's Day lunch. My guests & I were greatly impressed by the seamless organisation, the fine food & the calibre of the speakers. I cannot think of another event where so many local businesses are represented giving a wonderful opportunity to network in the fine surroundings of Sopwell House.

I very much look forward to next year’s event"

Best Regards
