The HR and HS Dept have been premier partners of MELCC for many years. We find the networking events to be a great way to meet other local businesses in relaxed settings that also highlight some great venues around Mid and East Lothian. There are regularly speakers and they are aways useful and topical. We would recommend coming along.

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.

Being a member of MELCC for me has been more than about networking. I've found some kindred business spirits who've given me informal expert advice over a cuppa and bacon roll, and others who have been on the end of the phone for those moments of need. The MELCC team are wonderful at connecting you to key people who can help your business grow, all in a wonderfully helpful and informal manner. It's a very friendly, welcoming and encouraging Chamber that I'd recommend anyone to join.
