Members’ Testimonials

The team at MELCC are proactive and professional, so we have been very impressed since becoming members in 2022. We have attended a number of their events, such as the Business Awards and Business Expo and found them to be extremely rewarding and beneficial for our business. The Chamber has a growing and diverse membership, so overall its an excellent platform for Hargreaves Land as we continue our development of Blindwells.

There are regularly speakers and they are aways useful and topical. We would recommend coming along.
