Online Seminars

Stowmarket Chamber is here to help local businesses.

The lockdown presented us with an opportunity to provide high-quality affordable online seminars on a range of different topics.

The aim is to provide you with practical information and support to help you grow your business and the region prosper.

We’d love to hear from you if there are subjects you’d like to learn more about. Email secretary@stowmarketchamber.co.uk with your ideas.

The Format

The 45-minute online seminars will be held via Zoom with quality explanation and demonstration of easy to use ideas followed by a chance for participants to ask questions.

Perhaps you are thinking now that you don’t know where to start. Imagine gaining simple practical steps and feeling in control of taking something forward for your business.

Because we want to help you, our costs are low at £3.50 for members and £5 for non-members per session. The chance to gain knowledge in these areas for the price of a cup of coffee!
