As a business in West Lothian we see the Chamber as an important part of the local business community. Not only do we benefit from the networking with the other Chamber members, we also gain a significant amount of satisfaction by assisting with the development of local activities such as the Development the Young Workforce. One of the added benefits is that the Chamber can assist members by directing them to the right people or organisations (this can be for training or staff recruitment) quickly and effectively, which has helped Lareine on many occasions.

I have now been a member of West Lothian Chamber for approximately 15 years. In that time, we have benefited in lots of ways - networking, forming new working relationships, developing new friendships, learning from others as well as helping others to benefit from our experiences. At one time I provided assistance as a mentor, which I think I got just as much out it as the mentee did. We have benefited from lots of the tutorial classes over the years & lots more.

Through the Chamber, I get to meet a wide range of businesses and people from small start-ups to huge multinationals. I have had both free training and mentoring opportunities to help me develop my business. Being a member of the Chamber has been a great investment for my business.
