Dunbartonshire Businesses were out in force at an important Launch & Showcase event recently.
Dunbartonshire Chamber of Commerce partnered with the Golden Jubilee Conference Hotel, Highland Reserve Forces & Cadets Association (HRFCA) and Amazon to host the “Launch & Showcase” at the Conference Hotel – part of the NHS Golden Jubilee family.
Around 100 guests were in attendance for the launch of Dunbartonshire Chamber’s new brand identity and website and insights into exciting new plans and member benefits.
The event showcased the Golden Jubilee Conference Hotel’s superb facilities and recent refurbishments and provided a valuable opportunity for local businesses to connect with the Golden Jubilee team to find out about becoming suppliers.

The Chamber, NHS Golden Jubilee and Amazon all hold the Gold ERS Award, having demonstrated their commitment to supporting the Armed Forces.
A wide range of partners provided guests with additional information about services to support business growth.
