“As a responsible employer we need to keep up with legislation. The Chamber’s Legal Advice line is invariably our first port of call.” - Director, 1st Direct Mailing Ltd, Wellingborough
When you’re running a business, you’ve got enough to worry about without concerning yourself with changes in law, red tape and regulation.
As a Chamber member, you can attend regular legislation updates entirely free of charge and be kept up to date through the fortnightly e-Bulletin and bi-monthly In Business magazine.
Your membership also gives you free access to a national 24 hour legal helpline and legal expenses insurance to help you cope with employment disputes, VAT tribunals and a whole range of other issues.
The Chamber HR service is also available free to members. Through this will you receive proactive HR advice and reactive insurance to cover the cost of representation and awards in respect of Employment Tribunal claims. Additional levels of cover can be procured.
As members you can access discounted credit checks on customers before you supply them to minimise your financial risk.
Should your business be affected by viruses, computer failure, theft or natural disaster, you can ensure that your data is safely protected by using Chamber Backup's secure online backup solution.
