Just one week after launching its new Partnership initiative, Cumbria Chamber has welcomed its first Chamber Partner, TrustFord Carlisle Car & Transit Centre.
Joe Sanders and James Bridges paid General Manager Mike Bell and his team a visit to welcome them to the Chamber and discuss plans for the partnership in the year ahead.
Conversations centered on some of the exciting work going on at TrustFord including the construction of its new Transit Centre in Carlisle and a newly launched fundraising drive with £25 of every vehicle sold going to Jigsaw, Cumbria’s Children’s Hospice as well as a Christmas gift appeal.
Building on the Chamber’s Patronage scheme, Partnership is an enhanced membership option offering a range of services and opportunities on top of the standard membership offer. The services are designed to raise the business’s profile, make high-profile connections and show their commitment to Cumbria’s business community.
Partners have access to a range of promotional opportunities including brand promotions, newsletter ads, editorial, the opportunity to feature in a podcast interview and a dedicated page on the Chamber website. The package also includes priority invites to events, discounts off sponsorship, membership of the Chamber’s Directors Forum and personal introductions to other members. A full rundown of all of the benefits included in Partnership is available via our website here.
General Manager at TrustFord Carlisle, Mike Bell said: “At TrustFord Carlisle, we’re delighted to be the first ever Chamber Partner with Cumbria Chamber. Our shared values and commitment to supporting the local community make this the perfect partnership, and we look forward to a successful and ongoing relationship with the Chamber and its members.”
