Well here we are, it’s the first day of December and the final Shropshire Chamber LinkedIn newsletter of 2023!
Here’s a quick catch up on what we’ve been up to lately, plus what’s on in December and in the New Year.
Thank you again for another fantastic year at Shropshire Chamber - we couldn’t do it without our amazing members and of course our Shropshire Chamber team.
What happened in November?
We hosted plenty of wonderful networking mornings for our Telford, Shrewsbury and Oswestry Network Club members, including the monthly session bringing all three groups together. There was also a networking breakfast held in Bridgnorth and it was lovely to welcome businesspeople from the town.
Of course, all of our usual training took place too - from SEO to First Aid! Here’s a photo of some of the training attendees in action… no extra points for guessing which course they were on!
Enough of November, it’s the most wonderful time of the year and we want to update you with what we’ve got coming up at your Chamber for the holiday season!
Upcoming training
Whether it’s life skills like Mental Health First Aid or more role-specific learning such as Excel, our wide range of training aims to help everyone develop at work. Take a look…
There is also our newly-launched Active Leadership Programme, which is available for all businesses based in the Shropshire Council area. This programme is fully funded and is perfect for existing leaders and managers who would like to develop their skills.
The UKSPF funding is for businesses which are registered in the Shropshire Council area - however we are collating a list of businesses in the Telford & Wrekin Council area which would be interested in the same programme being delivered in the borough.?To apply or register your interest email [email protected] or call project co-ordinator Amanda Gosling on 07866599913 to register your application.
*Limited to two places per business and subject to eligibility?

Now the thing you’re all here for - festive events!
We have something for everyone when it comes to our festive events!
First up, it’s our Coffee & Mince Pie Morning on December 7th at the idyllic Hencote Estate - this is perfect for those of you who prefer a more informal networking with a wonderful view.
Later that day we’ll be at the White Horse in Shrewsbury for the Our Future in Focus festive drinks and social evening. This is exclusively for our under 30s and friends are invited too! Christmas jumpers are also encouraged of course.
Then it’s time for the big one - our AGM and Christmas Lunch on December 8th at the Mercure Albrighton Hall Hotel & Spa. As always there will be a charity raffle and a delicious three-course meal for you to enjoy. It’s the perfect way to kick off the Christmas wind down - is it ever too early?!
If you prefer the Christmas wind down a little closer to the 25th, our Combined Network Club is on December 20th at the Albright Hussey Manor. There will be a Christmas quiz, of course!
January 2024 events
Once everyone’s back to work in January we’re straight into it with our events. Here’s what you can expect in the New Year…
Then we have a very special event on January 25th - the launch of the Shropshire Chamber Business Awards 2024! This will be held at the Albrighton Hall Hotel & Spa. Come along to hear about the categories you can enter, listen to some of our previous winners, and find out exactly what our judges are looking for. It’s going to be a great evening!
Christmas closures…
Finally, we’d like to let you know our team will be off from Friday December 22nd 2023 until Wednesday January 3rd 2024 for a well-deserved break.
We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and you enjoy the precious time spent with the people you love the most. We look forward to seeing you all again in the New Year and can’t wait to see what 2024 brings!
