Frome and District Chamber of Commerce is calling on local businesses to add their voice to a survey that will help shape its future priorities and ensure it continues to support the needs of the local business community.
As it celebrates its 80th anniversary this year, the Chamber is looking ahead to its next chapter and wants to hear from businesses across Frome and the surrounding area about what matters most to them.
Sponsored by web design and software consultants Honeystone, the survey will help inform the future direction of the Chamber, as well as its recently established Junior Chamber. 
The Chamber has also strengthened its wider business connections this year by becoming formally affiliated with Somerset Chamber of Commerce, extending its links and the power of its voice through to the British Chambers of Commerce network.
With a mission to bring together businesses of all sizes and sectors to strengthen the local economy and foster a vibrant business community, the Chamber is keen to ensure its work reflects the ambitions, challenges and needs of local businesses.
Peter Quintana, Chair of Frome and District Chamber of Commerce, said: “As we celebrate 80 years of the Chamber, it’s important that we look ahead and make sure we’re providing the support, connections and opportunities that local businesses really want and need.
“Frome has a diverse and thriving business community, and we want to hear from businesses of all sizes and sectors, whether they’re already Chamber members or not.
“Just five minutes of your time could help shape our priorities for the years ahead and ensure the Chamber continues to play a valuable role in supporting local businesses and the wider economy. I’d really encourage everyone to have their say.”
Those who provide their email address when completing the survey will also be entered into a prize draw to celebrate the Chamber’s 80th anniversary, with prizes generously donated by Chamber members Givino and Still Sisters amongst others.
The winners will be announced at the Chamber’s AGM and 80th birthday celebration on Wednesday 2 December, from 5.30pm to 7.30pm at The Awesome Studio, Station Approach, Frome.
