Sponsor Survey Questions
The GBCC deliver a quarterly survey completed by over 350 businesses in the Greater Birmingham area (Birmingham, Burton, Chase, Lichfield, Tamworth, Sutton Coldfield and Solihull).
There are a limited number of opportunities per year for businesses to sponsor a small number of questions in one of these surveys. Questions must be on a topic relevant to our members’ interests and in line with the role of the Chamber as defined by our articles of association.
This is the ideal opportunity for organisations looking to identify businesses views on specific topics for policy development or PR/news stories.
