Frequently asked questions

If you have a question about your Chamber membership or the work that we do, please read the information on this page.

Membership

If you're a registered business, you can join the Chamber. You can either join online or you can speak to one of our Membership Executives to find out more. To get in touch, give us a call on 0161 393 4321. Once you’ve joined, your Account Manager will be in touch to make sure you have everything you need to get started.

Yes of course, as part of your membership you can take advantage of member to member introductions.  All you need to do it get in contact with your Account Manager and they will let you know how to make the most of this.

As a member, you have a dedicated team to help you; a Regional Membership Manager and an Account Manager. If you'd like a refresher on membership or you have a query, then give us a call on 0161 393 4321 and we’ll be more than happy to help.

Don’t worry; that probably means our website isn't recognising you as a member. Simply call the Membership Team on 0161 393 4321 and they'll fix this for you as soon as possible.

No problem, just call your Account Manager and they can add a new primary contact to your account. In fact, the more contacts we have, the more value you're likely to get from your membership.

Due to current Covid-19 regulations our Member's Lounge is open intermittently when government guidelines allow. You must book online, wear a face mask and observe social distancing when you visit. 

Book here.

Absolutely. If you want to meet a client in the Members' Lounge as your guest, they're more than welcome.

Make sure you both book online.

Greater Manchester Chamber can provide help and support to all registered businesses. If you're looking for support with starting a business and writing a business plan then we can't help, but we can certainly point you in the right direction so let us know what you're looking for and we'll do our best to help

If you're not happy with your membership, we'd like to understand why and would love the opportunity to fix things.

If you're thinking about cancelling, please email either your Regional Membership Manager or your Account Manager and they'll give you a call to discuss.

Usually, we ask for three months' notice if you'd like to cancel your membership.

If your account has been frozen, it usually means your membership payment is overdue by six weeks or more. To get you back up and running, please give us a call on 0161 393 4321.

Marketing

As a member, you are able to upload your own news, events and comments to the website - simply log on using your registered email address, navigate to the Membership area and follow the on screen directions. Uploading content is very simple, however if you have any questions, please contact us at communicate@gmchamber.co.uk

You can also submit content for consideration for the Brief by sending a Word document and an accompanying image to communicate@gmchamber.co.uk.

We receive a high volume of content so unfortunately can't respond to each email received, however our marketing team works to ensure we use as much content as possible. We have a number of channels and will work with you to promote your messages through the most appropriate ones.  

We normally ask for between 150-300 words in a word document so that we can copy and edit the text.

Please send all content in the finished format with an accompanying image.

We have a range of sponsorship packages available, alongside various advertising opportunities to help boost your business. Call 0161 393 4337 to discuss what's available.

We have very active Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn channels, which we can use to share members' news, events and offers. 

Follow us, tag us, like our page, etc and we'll be able to share your content more easily
