Advertising does cost but Chamber members can benefit from a 15% discount off advertising costs. Competitive advertising rates ensure that even the smallest of firms can afford to promote their products and services, using advertisements or inserts.

Submitting content

Editorial coverage is free for Chamber members but please note submission of news items does not guarantee publication. Submissions should be of interest to a predominantly business audience and include a clear news topic or provide educational value.

Please send press releases as Word documents or within the body copy of an email, and include high-resolution images (1MB file sizes). Deadlines are the beginning of the month prior to publication (eg 1 March for April edition) but we may decide to use articles in another issue. We have produced a set of contribution guidelines to help members with submitting press releases and thought leadership articles, which you can find below.
