There are 6 key benefits to membership of Newbridge Chamber.

1) Grow your Business
Membership of Newbridge Chamber will give you a local network to increase your ‘business to business’ and individual customer base. There are regular events held where you can invest some of your valuable time to meet other members, create sales opportunities and benefit from a shared experience, all in a relaxed environment.

2) Become informed
The Chamber commits to give you regular updates on the issues that matter to you and your business, including local and national charges, legislative changes, developments in Newbridge town and environs. In addition to this hard edged brief, the Chamber will also let you know what your fellow members are up to through regular correspondence and its newsletter, which should help you keep your finger on the pulse in the area!

3) Representation
As a member, Newbridge Chamber will be vigilant and independently represent your interests on local lobbying issues that could affect the success of your business. Key issues affecting members at present are the addressing of business costs, insurance fees, rates, water charges and waste. Seeking funding from Kildare County Council and Newbridge Town Council is a constant for the Chamber in an effort to reduce the percentage increase in rates from business, while continuing to receive the required services.

4) Training
Training for owners and staff is an often overlooked benefit of membership. The Chamber provides an opportunity to learn new skills or upgrade existing ones by organising relevant courses for members. This is a useful tool for small businesses or small departments of larger companies where such training would not be viable for low numbers. Such training is provided at a reduced price or sometimes even free.

5) Provision of Export documentation
If you are in the export business, Newbridge Chamber can help you ‘do the business’ as it is authorised to provide you with EU Certificates of Origin and Arab Irish Certificates of Origin.

6) National and International Links
Chambers Ireland (http://www.chambers.ie) is an umbrella body of which Newbridge Chamber is a member. CI provides a national lobby and service programme for all chamber members throughout Ireland. In addition, through CI, Newbridge Chamber members are part of Eurochambres, Europe’s biggest business organisation.
