Patrons

Hand in hand with local business leaders

Prosperous and expanding business communities such as ours are usually home to a number of established and very successful organisations.  In Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire we are proud that so many have become Patrons of the Chamber as a way of supporting their local area.

George Cowcher, Chamber Chief Executive said: 'We see the Chamber Patrons Group as being a powerful force in influencing development across of the County and, through the Chamber, bringing to smaller businesses knowledge and skills that are vital to their future success.

As well as offering their financial support, our patrons participate in many of the committees and councils which are working on local issues and lobbying for positive change in our area.
