2011 has been a great year for Renfrewshire Chamber, officially the fastest growing Chamber in the UK - read our great results from the BCC benchmarking survey here. This helped us reach the final of the BCC UK Chamber of the Year (won by Derbyshire).

On December 15th we had our AGM and our Christmas lunch (our busiest ever at 80 people) - our final events of 2011. The event raised £1,000 for local Renfrewshire charities and good causes, £500 of which goes to St Vincent's Hospice. Thanks to all that supported both events and also to those that donated raffle prizes. Loud'n'Proud "wow'd" the members again with another fantastic set - well done guys.

There are always many other events coming up providing ample learning & networking opportunities – please visit our Events page to keep up to date. There you can also see the speakers we have arranged for the year ahead.

Winter 2011 edition of Business Matters is now out, you can view it online. Themes are ROCCO winners & retail.
