We declare that the company carried on the below activities for the benefit of the community or a section of the community*. The company’s activities provide benefit to: 1. The Exmouth Business Community defined by its Beneficiaries and Operating Area 2. Residents of and visitors to the Operating Area “Beneficiaries” means any private or public limited company, partnership, sole trader, social enterprise or other entity carrying on a business in the Operating Area. “Operating Area” means the town of Exmouth. Activity Continued the Exmouth Chamber as a support service for local businesses across the area. Impact The Chamber continued to develop and provide opportunities to support the furtherance of local business to include networking, training and other services as may become available. The team directed any local business questions to the relevant party and supported connections of different stakeholders. Activity Held briefing events to support local businesses. Impact The Chamber continued to help the Exmouth Business Community better understand trading conditions, business opportunities, legislation and availability of finance and grants. Activity Submitted articles to the local paper regularly to highlight initiatives. Impact It assisted local businesses by informing them of matters that may assist their own revenue and therefore the local area. Activity Ran networking events. Impact The Chamber brought together members and non-members to encourage and promote industry, trading, referrals and growth in the Exmouth Business Community through events such as breakfast briefings and ad-hoc evening events. Activity Improve interactions between local businesses through marketing and events including the annual Exmouth Business Awards, which is supported by the Chamber and the public. Impact The Chamber continued to encourage communication between local businesses and acted as a voice of the collective members to assist each other in the furtherance of the business in the area.
The four company officers are all residents of East Devon and operate businesses in the area. They form an Executive Committee team along with other stakeholders, who volunteer their time to organise events and initiatives. Our other stakeholders are the Local Business Community as mentioned above - both members and non-members with an interest in local business. We hold an AGM each February for formal consultations and have an online forum for any general questions. At every networking event, we asked for input from stakeholders present on what support and initiatives they would like to see. A few suggested a networking event during the day would be better for some of the audience - so the team are looking at developing this.
