Testimonials

“I am all about fusing businesses and communities together.  I am grateful to be collaborating with the Durham Chamber, as the Chamber is an instrumental part of being a successful entrepreneur. They provide quality access to the resources that stimulate professional development that positively impacts your bottom line.”

“The world would simply be without Bound Custom Journals were it not for the Durham Chamber of Commerce.  Our concept is simple: You design your own journal on www.boundforanything.com.  We make it by hand right here in Durham and ship it to you in a week.  This time last year, we were a good idea with no product or network.  It’s amazing what can happen in a year.  We met our incredibly collaborative manufacturer through a Durham Young Professionals networking event, we received a tremendous boost from the Bull City Startup Stampede, and we are proud to be members of the Chamber ourselves.  We launched in November and are already shipping around the world.”

“The Chamber’s first Meet the Purchasers event gave me the opportunity to meet with key representatives from 11 major organizations in Durham to discuss our capabilities and show samples of our work.  I now have have several business cards from representatives who asked me to send them information about B&J Custom Printers. Thank you for organizing this important event.  I will be looking forward to the next one.”

“I recently relocated to the RTP and quickly discovered that the Durham Chamber of Commerce is the most essential resource to help grow my business. I have received referrals from the Chamber, been put into contact with the right people, attended networking events that turned into business opportunities, and have been treated with nothing but courtesy and respect from everyone affiliated. They answer any questions I have quickly and professionally, and they are always friendly and helpful! I can not say enough positive things about Adrian, Mable, John, and the entire staff! I have worked with a few other COC’s, but I must say that the Durham Chamber of Commerce is hands down in a league of their own- an absolutely exceptional league! I am so fortunate to be working with this outstanding group of individuals.”
