We've worked with the Hounslow Chamber of Commerce on a professional level for a few years, assisting with maintenance of their existing website and with exciting projects on the horizon. We're always impressed by the professionalism and enthusiasm of Sally, Alan, Lisa and the team, and would encourage anyone looking to grow their business to get in touch with them. Their increase and adaptation to wards webinars and distance-based services during the pandemic has been especially impressive!

Hounslow Chamber of Commerce have been a great supporter of Garner & Hancock's initiatives and ventures, including our recent Myth Busting Seminar held at Hilton, Syon Park. We would like to extend our warm gratitude to Sally Smith and her Team who always go the extra mile. We look forward to working in collaboration again at the Hounslow Festival of Business in February 2020, as headline sponsor. V Tanna, Managing Partner - Garner & Hancock Solicitors

I attended the 2020 Vision Export Event organised by the Chamber. I attended based upon a recommendation, and was expecting a standard run through of How things work, what should be the objectives etc etc. BE WARNED: If this is what you are thinking, then you run the risk of missing out! The personnel and companies gathered by the Chamber were true experts in their fields, who more than anything, are excited to help and tailor solutions based on the individuals and business' needs, aspirations and realities.
Even if your idea or plan is at conceptulisation stage, definitely go along. The last thing I would add is that the Chamber is extremely well connected, and the guests, speakers and those there to assist are from the highest calibre institutions in the country, including Government, so if you have the opportunity to go to one of the events, grab it with both hands (and feet if possible!) Your plans will take on new dimensions!

Excellent organisation, very well connected and they understand the needs of business and local communities. I attended their recent Regeneration Dinner last month, with everyone from big businesses like Heathrow to the key political players there. The Hounslow Chamber went out of their way to make key introductions that have helped my work.
