It is the Chamber’s job to stand up and speak for business.

To do this effectively the Chamber has long employed a wide range of media opportunities and we are pleased to announce that we have launched our own twitter page.

Follow us on @LeicsChamber .

We will be tweeting regularly to keep our followers informed about all that we are doing, the events we are attending and also news from our members and other information which we believe Leicestershire Businesses need to be aware of.

If you are unsure about the benefits of social media to your organisation then why not attend one of the free business briefings organised by ourselves and the ebusiness Club.  Full details of these briefings which are held regularly around the county can be found at www.ebusinessclub.biz .

Of course, we will still be continuing with our normal newsletter, magazine but for those of you waiting for our directory.  Our brand new edirectory will be launched in the next few weeks and will be sent out to all of our members.

And don’t forget to watch out for our Quarterly Economic Surveys which are our way of ensuring that local and national government are kept aware of the state of our local economy and the concerns which you, our members, have at the moment.

For more details of this or any other messages you have for the Chamber or about the local economy you can always call us on 0116 2471800, email leics@chamberofcommerce.co.uk or now you can also send us a message via twitter on @LeicsChamber .

Don't forget, if you are a Chamber member and have anything you want to tell us, just let us know.

Look forward to hearing from you.
