What our members say...

"I joined the Chamber at the start of 2011 when I commenced my dynamic new Professional Development Business. From the onset I was welcomed by the amazing people who work there. They had a genuine interest in my new business and how they could help me ‘make it fly’. It has proven to be the ·most valuable avenue for meeting business people who I may be able to assist.  

The events are professional, informative and friendly and the ongoing support from the staff has been quite simply, amazing. For any small business owner this is a ‘must’ to get the word out about you and your services.   

Thank you to everyone at the Chamber, I look forward to each and every event you host."

Tanya Squires, Key People Inspired

“The [WorkChoices] changes that will need to be made will be many and varied and it is nice to know there is a contact in you with strong knowledge which gives confidence and some comfort going forward into the abyss. This provision of services makes our Chamber membership very valuable to us.”

Peter Gordon, Something Ventured Pty Ltd

 Sandra Michie, Tender Agenda

 "Starting a new business venture can be exhilarating but also a little daunting. Since meeting with and joining the Chamber I’ve found the staff very helpful indeed. They provide advice on the current business environment as well as great opportunities to meet with like minded individuals wanting to provide a quality service for their clients.

The Chamber networking events are an excellent way to learn about other local businesses and also position your own brand within the local community. The Women in Business events open up another level of opportunity to hear some great local success stories in a friendly, relaxed environment. I’m always made to feel welcome at these events and look forward to attending many more in the future."

Natasha Vanzetti, Web123

“We wish to compliment you and your staff for organising the event (2006 Annual Dinner) and making it so pleasurable for the many people who attended. It was great to catch up with so many associates from within the business community and to enjoy the hospitality of such an enjoyable venue.” 

Peter Collins, Capital Collection Service

"Congratulations and a big thank you to the Chamber for this initiative [Member of the Month]. A definite assistance to local member businesses." 

 Ron Smith, CLASS Locksmiths (August Chamber Member of the Month)

"This is a great strategy which will build and maintain member participation - and a wonderful opportunity for the monthly winner to have their business promoted FOR FREE! I am finding the assistance the Chamber offers to help and promote small businesses, including me, is absolutely invaluable. Thank you for another great promotional opportunity."

Pam Dean, TaxSavings International

"The Chamber is a great resource to all businesses in the ACT especially in the increasingly complex area of navigating the current IR legislation. Chamber membership is probably the best value for money you will find in a professional organisation not only because of the services provided but also from the networking opportunities which arise, and now the value just increased with this great promotional opportunity. Good work!"

Julian Barrington-Smith, The Good Guys Tuggeranong  

“We find attending the Chamber’s WR workshops is so important as it helps us to refresh techniques and information, we always receive the most up-to-date information and the workshops are well structured, yet relaxed, which creates a good environment to learn.”
Leslie Francis and Rowland Fischer, Belconnen Premier Inn

“I find the WR workshops provide me with currency of information, and the workbooks are a source of relevant information.”
Erin Riley, Wisdom

“Attending the workshop on managing under-performing employees provided practical tips for my business.”
Daniel Humphreys, Fragomen Australia

“Attending this workshop has given me more confidence & strategies in the way that I deal with under-performing staff.”
Cathy Chaffey, Bing Lee

“All Chamber seminars are well worth the time, even if you think you know it all, its nice to get confirmation that you are doing things right (and no-one ever knows it all).”
Judy Kriesl, Webster Advertising

“The information was imparted in a logical, sensible way and with a sense of humour. Sometimes our business environment becomes insular and it is satisfying to attend the Chamber WR workshops to share experiences with like minds.”
Rhonda Cleary, Pialligo Plant Farm

“Chamber WR workshops are the only hands on, interactive workshops that you can actually get the answers to your questions. Thanks for running them.”
