As the voice of business Suffolk Chamber of Commerce is passionate about contributing to the success of our members. But don't just take our word for it. Below you will find a sample of the many testimonials we have recently received from our members:
Lindsey Nunn
Director - The Height Guys
"Since joining the Chamber last March, I have been warmly welcomed and swiftly established valuable connections at networking events. These relationships have transformed into supporters, suppliers, customers, and now even a few quiz companions!
Being part of the Chamber community feels like being in a supportive family. I reached out to the Chamber for introductions to local businesses, and I was met with an enthusiastic response - about 40% of these connections became customers. Whenever I needed assistance, Joe and Stuart have been incredibly helpful, and free legal expertise was just a phone call away. With the Chamber's significant involvement in Sizewell C, they provide regular and detailed updates to the county, which is crucial for local businesses. The Height Guys are very much looking forward to being a part of it again this year. Keep up the good collaborative work Suffolk Chamber!"
Karl Pearsall
Founder - Original Thing
"Since joining the Chamber of Commerce in February 2025, I have found it to be a friendly and supportive environment, making it easy to meet many local business owners as well as employees of corporate companies.
I've enjoyed the social elements and have gained new customers. I have travelled to Chamber events in some great venues throughout Suffolk, which are meticulously planned and organised.
There have also been other opportunities on the supply side, such as the trade export import event, where I had the chance to meet representatives and a minister from Japan, Malaysia, and Indonesia, relating to the new trade CPTPP arrangements.
I'm looking forward to the educational aspects and the further connections to Sizewell C."
Sophie Able
Newmarket Racecourses & International Director
“Since joining the Chamber my team and I at The Jockey Club have been provided with some brilliant networking opportunities as well as clear and sound advice and dialogue on a range of relevant economic and wider policy issues in the region. I can’t recommend it highly enough and it has added real value to our business.”
Richard Brame
Senior Director, WTW
"It is great to be part of the Suffolk Chamber of Commerce which does a great job in connecting local communities and businesses. We are able to connect with other local companies but also get access to leading business and community figures and expertise, enabling us to help represent the local economy and local needs"
Dr Peter Funnell
Director, Oakmere Solutions
"Whether its practical business support, networking or national policy lobbying, Suffolk Chamber has offered our business a conduit through which to engage, influence and do business. The Chamber’s role as the ‘voice of business’ is critical not only to the economic success of Suffolk but also in reinforcing the important link between the economic decisions we make and the health and wellbeing of people and the communities where we live. As a business working predominantly in the heritage sector, Oakmere Solutions Ltd understands the importance of place, and so does Suffolk Chamber. Our experience suggests that all businesses would benefit from being part of the Suffolk Chamber whether they operate in the commercial, public or third sectors."
Dean Harvey
Managing Director - AccuGrit
“Being a relatively new business being a member of the Suffolk Chamber has been invaluable as on many occasions I’ve leaned on the chamber for advice and have been pointed in the right direction on many occasions. We had help with the Kickstarter scheme, grants that are available just to name a few. In short the Suffolk Chamber have been a great asset to our business”
Ali Spindler
PPC Broadband
"I find the courses very enjoyable, particularly David’s style of presenting, it is conversational whilst conveying a great amount of detail in an easily understandable manner. His real life examples are also very good in providing that little bit more when explaining a specific points of learning. Even though it is not a good as being all in the same room, these courses are a very good second choice."
Mike Bowden
Director of Growth and Partnerships
"I’m really impressed with the Suffolk Chamber and how they’ve adapted their service. We’re taking advantage of pretty much all of their virtual meetings, events & seminars. Naturally, we miss the real world events and meetings but we do see the advantages in this new format. I’ve met some really good new contacts and lots of nice, likeminded people. We’re sharing good ideas and connections and I expect this will help us a business and as individuals. To me, it feels like the distancing has brought all a little closer."
Amir Farboud
Chief Operations Officer - Unisurge International Ltd
"At Unisurge International we take great comfort in the knowledge that there is third party HR support for legal and difficult often sensitive matters. We have used the membership benefit Suffolk Chamber Protection on numerous occasions for support and their advice and expertise have been excellent."
Ellie Clements
Management Assistant - Claydon Drills
"Whenever I have approached the Chamber I have always received a quick response and a helpful, professional and friendly service. If the answer to my questions are not known they will always point me in the right direction. They are my go-to point of contact in a time of uncertainty, particularly at present with Brexit."
