The January business meeting was held at The Plough Public House – many thanks for their hospitality and was chaired by Annie Mulady, Vice President. The meeting attracted 40 members and guests who heard updates on the latest Sainsbury/Waitrose developments, the Late Night Shopping event and following interest from participants, we will be arranging a meeting to advise businesses on rates negotiation. After the formal agenda was completed, participants had an opportunity to network. Full minutes of the meeting are available on our website.

This month, we have an overview of the commercial property market in Marlow during 2009 from Duncan and Bailey-Kennedy, commercial property agents.

The Chamber is now in the process of organising initiatives to support Marlow businesses during 2010 and if you have any ideas on what the Chamber can be doing please let me know. Equally, and to follow on from a point that Annie made at the recent business meeting, the credibility of the Chamber is strengthened by the number of members we have and therefore if you know of local businesses who would benefit from being members, please let any one of the Executive know and we will contact them – contact details are can be found here
