Four in a row for organisation

THE Chamber of Commerce is going into 2018 on a high after winning a national Chambers Awards for the fourth year running.

Northamptonshire Chamber won the coveted Excellence in International Trade Services award at the prestigious event which is organised by the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) and is considered to be one of the UK’s most hotly contested business awards.

It was also a finalist in the Chamber of the Year category for the third time, having won the award in 2015, and was a finalist in the Excellence in Membership Services category which it had won the previous three years.

Northamptonshire Chamber chief executive Paul Griffiths said: “To be a national winner at the Chamber Awards for the fourth year in a row is fantastic and speaks volumes about the hard work and dedication of our team.

“I’m delighted that our incredible International Trade Team has received this recognition. Last year they were the 10th largest issuer of export documents in the country and helped firms to send more than £350 million of goods around the world so this success is richly deserved.

“This award recognises that our Chamber plays an important role in the local, regional and national business community.

“I am grateful to our entire team, the Board for their support and guidance, local partners and stakeholders and our members for their ongoing endorsement.”

There was also recognition for three Northamptonshire Chamber members with Bell Northampton (A Bell & Co), Beardow Adams (Adhesives) Ltd and Strixton-based architects MBA being named respectively as finalists in the Small Business of the Year, Export Business of the Year and Commitment to People Development categories.

Paul added: “We were absolutely thrilled to see these three fantastic businesses reach the national final. They are an indication of the talent and entrepreneurship of firms within our county.”
