Smoke and Ash
Working with the Chamber
As a new independent restaurant with a limited marketing budget, it was important to utilise the best networks possible to promote our brand. The Chamber has introduced us to other members not just in Birmingham but also the wider West Midlands region, inviting us to various events to 'meet and greet' as well as catering at others! This has given us massive exposure to business owners and decision-makers across the area who we may not have been able to easily reach otherwise. A number of these are now regular visitors to our restaurant, as well as becoming supporters through other means e.g. using our restaurant space for events and dinners.
How has the Chamber contributed to the growth or development of your business?
As a 'one to watch' in 2024, we have been approached by a number of other businesses in the city to discuss potential collaborations - whether that's utilising our space for private hire, hiring us as caterers for private events or researching potential expansion plans with us. As owners, we have come from a corporate background and we are more than comfortable talking to CEOs, finance directors and investors - they all need pizza as well!
What is the best thing about being a Chamber member?
Since the Chamber helped promote the opening of our extension last year, we have been inundated with requests for private hire and large groups! Being a member has helped us share our story to the right people at the right time.
