Online advice centre reels in new competition

An online advice centre which gives North East businesses free access to a range of professional services is giving users chance to win a free promotional film to the value of £3,500.

Chamber @dvice, the North East Chamber of Commerce’s flagship On-line Business Advice Centre, is helping companies save thousands of pounds by giving them access to a team of Accredited Professional Advisers. All areas of business are covered by the advice team including IT, risk, accountancy, legal questions, marketing, HR and management.

David Kay, officer manager for Cowper & Shaw, a Sunderland-based locksmith which regularly accesses Chamber @dvice for help, said: “Chamber @dvice acts as a one-stop-shop, which is easier than searching around for my own expert. Being able to leave that job to the Chamber is the ideal solution.

“The option of being able to send a question off and forget about it, knowing that you will get a response in a day or two is ideal for a small business like ours, and proves to be very time efficient.”

Businesses submitting questions via the website from now until December 15 will be entered into a free ‘Movie Ticket’ draw, to win a promotional film of their company produced by twenty first century media, one of the Chamber @dvice accredited experts.

Non NECC members also have the chance to have their business wishes granted, by asking three questions for free to try the system, which is a free benefit to NECC members. Non members usually pay an annual subscription of £300 to use the system.

To use the service or for more information, log on to http://www.chamberadvice.co.uk/ and submit your business query. You will receive a reply within 48-hours.
