London Chamber of Commerce and Industry is offering the capital’s businesses a new, free, way to be part of its community, with the launch of a networking app designed to support business development and aid COVID-19 economic recovery.

During these challenging times for businesses across London’s boroughs, LCCI is providing the capital’s firms, traders and entrepreneurs with free access to a new ‘London Chamber Community Network’ – including a free app (available through mobile and web browser) that allows businesses to connect with one another digitally, talk on a one-to-one basis, join common interest discussions, engage with LCCI’s research work about issues impacting London business, and access events and services.

Richard Burge, Chief Executive of London Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said: “The impact of COVID-19 has affected businesses right across the capital, so I’m pleased that London Chamber of Commerce and Industry is able to broaden its offer, for free, to businesses across London’s boroughs.

“Our new community network and app will bring more businesses and employees together, to connect with one another, do business, join sector interest groups, participate in LCCI’s policy and campaigning work, and access advice and services.

Collectively we can deliver a stronger and faster economic recovery for London and the UK.”

Details of how to access the LCCI App and the London Chamber Community Network are available now at www.londonchamber.co.uk, with a video outlining the benefits of the app.

Quotes from London businesses that have trialled the app:

Gareth West, Schroders Personal Wealth: “The app is a great and quick way to engage with the wider LCCI community as you can access via your phone. It has easy functionality and enabled me to build my network, for others to connect with me and stay in touch with what is going on in the wider world, that may impact me and the business I work for”

Mark Jenkinson, Director, Crystal Associates: “The new App is a powerful tool bringing our LCCI community even closer together, enhancing our membership and our voice. If you’re not yet on it, I’d say get on it – you won’t be able to put your phone down!”

Timi Orija, CEO and Founder, 4s Events: “The app is very useful and easy to use. It’s a great way to keep up to date with what is happening in real time and is fast becoming the go to app to engage with the community. Thank you to the LCCI for this great initiative.”

Susanna Toth, UK Market Entry Consulting, H-Net Agency: “I have found the LCCI’s new App a good tool for us to get information easily and quickly on mobile. Furthermore, it is a great opportunity for all members to create a community rather than just being a member. Great job!”
