Bookings are now open for our second annual Charity Golf Day. Taking place 16 September at Breadsall Priory Country Club.

Chamber calls for changes to the Employment Rights Bill with letter to MP’s

The Chamber has contacted MP’s across the region, urging them to immediately act on concerns the Employment Rights Bill will harm investment and recruitment intentions, especially SMEs, in the East Midlands.

With East Midlands businesses having reported a 7% drop in attempts to recruit staff over the last three quarters of the Chamber’s Quarterly Economic Survey, a 15% drop in expectation of a rise in profitability over the next year and corporate taxation almost top of business concerns, the overall picture is of fragile confidence among businesses in the region.

Business Awards now open for applications

We are very excited to announce the most prestigious business awards in the East Midlands are back!

Applications are now open until 19 September.
