Fellow Members,

At last we can be encouraged by the roadmap out of restrictions and look forward to the re-opening of our businesses.

Following the Prime Ministers announcement on Monday 22 February the country will undergo a four stage roadmap out of the Covid 19 restrictions with the final release from social distancing restrictions planned for June.

In the meantime businesses will need to plan how they re-open and bring staff back into the workplace.
Please take advantage of advertising the re-opening of your business via the Chamber website and other social media platforms.

The roadmap can be found in full here.

Mole Valley Chamber will be talking with Local Government to find out what further financial packages may be available and will update the membership on any announcements.
Current grants & loans are still available and can still be applied for.

President, Mole Valley Chamber of Commerce
EVENT - APPLYING THE KEY STEPS TO AN ELEVATOR PITCH THROUGHOUT YOUR BUSINESS

Wednesday 3rd March 09:45 to 11:00

Kerry-Anne Kitson, Our Chamber Vice President shares with us a presentation she was asked to give at the first of a series of Women in Business networking events held by Metro Bank.

She takes 5 key steps of writing an elevator pitch and shows you how to apply them to your business strategy and your website marketing.

Bring a pen and paper and plenty of creative thought as you prepare to spend half an hour thinking about your own business planning.

The presentation will last approximately 25 minutes with time for Q&A’s afterwards then a brief chance for us all to do a bit of networking if time allows.

Link to book via our website HERE.
SHOP LOCAL INITIATIVE - KEEPING OUR HIGH STREETS ALIVE

Towards the end of 2020, we launched a new campaign to support our high street traders and encourage people to shop locally. By way of small encouragement for people to become aware of the scheme, and generally think more about how they can support their local economy, we offer a variety of prizes each month just for spending with our local traders.

As soon as non-essential shops are able to begin trading again we will be resuming the initiative and doing all we can to encourage local spending.

The scheme is FREE to register for, and traders are provided with all the information they need to let people know they are participating in the scheme. It is also not exclusive to just chamber members. If you are in a High Street, or local shopping area, please share the word and encourage as many people as possible to sign up. This is just one way, of we hope many more schemes and initiatives that will be there to boost our high streets. Traders can register for the scheme by emailing us HERE.
