Chamber AGM & Virtual Showcase
“It’s been a really challenging year for businesses and the Chamber has been no different to many of our members as we navigate the difficulties of the pandemic: looking at how to adapt our services to support our members and the local business community, while keeping our team supported.
The work over the past year has been really varied, from championing Buy Local projects like Love Dundee Local & Buy Angus to providing lots of covid guidance and services.
We took our events and member engagement programme virtual, delivering an incredible 150 events to an audience of over 3,500. Today’s virtual Showcase has been really well received & helps us continue to build connections for members as we look forward to holding more events in real life later in the year.
In 2020 we became a Kickstart Gateway organisation and are well on the way to creating 200 jobs for young unemployed people in Dundee and Angus.
We launched a new Customs Declaration service and supported hundreds of businesses navigate Brexit challenges.
And we ran two very successful virtual trade missions linking Scottish businesses with businesses in Dubai, UAE and Chennai, South India - both of which have resulted in commercial deals being agreed.
We’ve had a successful year due to the support of our Partners, members and government colleagues - local and national.
Our thanks go to our Directors who give up so much of their time to support the work of the Chamber, and to the team who have worked remotely and are a huge credit to the region."
Looking back at 2020 a few years from now, we'll wonder how we managed!
