Chamber marks membership

Six of Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce’s (AGCC) longest standing members had their involvement with the organisation recognised at a special ceremony in the Town House last night.

In a new initiative, businesses which have been members continuously for 15, 20, 25 and 30 years will have their contribution acknowledged at a series of events throughout the year.

Lord Provost Peter Stephen presented Gold Membership Awards (25 years) to Aberdeen Appointments Agency and Weber Shandwick; Silver Awards (20 years) to Aberdeenshire Council, Schoolhill Hydraulic Engineering and Murgitroyd & Company and a Bronze Award (15 years) to Equiworld Club.

Chamber Chief Executive Bob Collier said: “As an organisation, our mission statement is to put our members at the heart of the Chamber; the Chamber at the heart of a strong and sustainable economy in the City and Shire and our region at the heart of a prosperous country so we wanted to acknowledge those members who have supported and worked with the Chamber for many years.

“It is their involvement as well as the involvement of all our other members which has made us into a leading membership organisation in North-east Scotland so it only right that we draw attention to the enormous contribution they have made to us and to the business community in this region.”

Four Chamber members will be presented with Platinum Membership Awards (30 years) as part of the opening event celebrations when AGCC moves to its new custom built premises in The Hub at the Science & Energy Park at the Bridge of Don in July.
