"I had a fantastic time at the Chamber of Commerce Summer Drinks Reception 2025. It was a great opportunity to connect with both current members and those considering joining. I particularly enjoyed the chance to speak with the Chamber team directly and share the positive experience we've had since becoming members. We've already begun collaborating with several fellow members, and it's been incredibly rewarding to build those partnerships through the Chamber network."

“What a fantastic experience sponsoring the International Trade & Opportunities event hosted by the Cambridgeshire Chamber of Commerce. Huge credit to Ilona Karpanos for curating such a high-quality event - it was expertly organised from start to finish.

Events like this are so important for businesses in our region looking to grow sustainably and expand internationally. They provide the perfect platform for connections, learning, and visibility.

Thank you and I look forward to attending the next panel!"

First Light Lamps about the Trade and Investment Opportunities event
"We're very proud to acknowledge the exceptional support and expertise provided by the Cambridgeshire Chamber of Commerce during our recent international exploration trip into Ghana. As a UK-based business navigating a new and complex market, the Chamber’s guidance proved invaluable at every stage of the journey. From the outset, the Chamber delivered in-depth market research, regulatory insights, and commercial intelligence tailored to the Ghanaian landscape. Ilona identified key partners, arranged strategic meetings, and helped us understand the local business culture - giving us a competitive edge. A defining moment in our journey was the Chamber’s presence during our first visit to Ghana. Their on-the-ground support ensured we made high-value connections with government bodies, industry stakeholders, and potential buyers. Their involvement brought credibility to our presence and played a vital role in successful negotiations. The Chamber’s hands-on assistance—from navigating legal frameworks to advising on market-entry strategy—has enabled us to confidently explore long-term operations in Ghana and broader West Africa. We commend the Chamber’s proactive, knowledgeable, and committed approach to supporting international business growth and wholeheartedly recommend them to any UK business seeking overseas success."
