LET’S TALKS BUSINESS MAGAZINE November 2020

 

What We Do

London Borough of Hounslow Chamber of Commerce is here to champion the businesses of the borough, to support them in any way we can and to be their voice of clear economic reason for a more environmentally greener and sustainable borough.

The Chamber exists to support firms, assisting them to grow and create new jobs, while at the same time encouraging new start-ups that innovate and fill the demands of the market place.

Our job is to be that support and voice for business in west London and in the Borough of Hounslow in particular.  We believe that when businesses are given the necessary space to grow, communities benefit from new jobs, property development and other economic activities that take shape on and off the high street.

The London Borough of Hounslow has a vibrant and diverse population of some 280,000 people and a business community in excess of some 18,000 companies that reflect all aspects of that diversity.

Hounslow enterprises range from sole traders through micro family-owned businesses to multi-national brands found on the “Golden Mile”. The borough benefits from the large corporates who are based here because of our excellent transport links and close proximity to the centre of London and the international hub of Heathrow airport. The impact of GSK, Heathrow, Pernod Ricard, Sky Television, JC Decaux, Sega Europe, TVT, MTG, Starbucks, Discovery, QTV and many others on west London’s supply chain is obvious – Hounslow is at the heart of a sustainable business to business opportunity that is second to none completing the transformation from an industrial borough to a smart city borough for a bright new future.

Proud to be part of London Local Chamber

Testimonials

My Representative Deputy Lieutenant for the Borough of Hounslow – Paul Kennerley DL – has been in touch to tell me of the impressive way in which you have responded to the pandemic. As a businessman myself, I know it to be an obvious truism that the country will need our commercial engines to be running on full throttle if we are to avoid the current economic situation turning into something far worse. Therefore, your efforts to guide local companies through the maelstrom resulting from Covid-19 – and especially in helping them to set their sights on prospering in the post-pandemic era – are absolutely vital.

Congrats to yourself and the team for putting on a great exhibition yesterday, everyone at Airivo thoroughly enjoyed it!

Ciara Nolan, Airivo

Testimonials

I would like to thank you for your continued support, activities and video conferences during Lockdown, it has all been very useful and informative.I want to specifically mention the mental health seminar which you offered a few days ago which I found especially useful and applies to everyone working from home or on Furlough, I personally identify with it.Few years ago when the company I was working for downsized and almost the whole team lost their jobs including me, I decided then to form my own company and go it alone. It was a great decision so everyone was telling me but the battle I went through to keep mentally healthy was very challenging. My journey was full of worry, anxiety, lack of sleep and mostly the feeling of loneliness, lack of motivation and discipline. I am saying this because I can imagine how many people must feel the same way at the moment, as for me I have been through this previously so I am coping well with the current situation.All the tips given by the speakers were very useful, helpful and supportive. I hope people are following the advice given because we all need to be assured that what we are going through is normal and can be dealt with and turned around to become a positive experience.Stay safe and take care.

FAYHA SULTAN, CBS – May 2020

Testimonials

Hounslow Chamber of Commerce (HCC) has always been a source of key commercial information across the borough, connecting SME’s ,Globals, Academia, central and local government thereby enabling the entrepreneurial process from all angles and never more so than during this Covid 19 crisis.
HCC have excelled in a way that no Not for Profit organisation should be expected to.
By pulling together a team of willing local experts, at every stage of the Governments rescue packages announcements, the HCC have delivered palatable , practical interpretations straight to my inbox within hours of central governments announcements.
To achieve this, alongside great leadership, basic resources are needed – systems, people, bandwidth , equipment all of which needs funding, via sponsorship , membership fees and grants. I don’t live in Hounslow but have been a member for over 10 years and have shared my covid newsletters with my clients and have held HCC up to the Leader of my own borough council as an exemplar of how a chamber should function.
Many chambers are simply networking vehicles, HCC is very much more and is a vital part of the local economy and their place in the boroughs recovery plan is vital.

Testimonials

Absolutely brilliant. No selling and honest straightforward answers to all the questions. Lots of great information given by the panel. Steve Curran was superb.
Thanks for reading out my question. I was very impressed with the answers and glad that the overall thinking is very different now. I’m looking forward to the bright new world by people embracing the technology.
Looking forward to the next one.

That was a very good webinar this morning.  Alan’s knowledge and the general expertise within Hounslow are evidently ‘setting the trend’ on a very vital part of the UK economy.

You guys rock ! (to use a bit of Canadian vernacular)
