    CHAMBER RISK INSURACE - ARE YOU COVERED?

    Research suggests that many small to medium sized businesses are facing serious risks by not having suitable business insurance cover and that they are not giving insurance a high enough priority.

    To ensure our members' businesses are insured against unnecessary risk, Liverpool Chamber have joined forces with AIG (Europe) Ltd and local broker Jardine Lloyd Thomson.

    WISH YOU WERE MORE ASSERTIVE?

    Many of us have wished we could be more assertive when faced with a difficult situation in the workplace. This one day course, taking place on Thursday 20 September and aimed at all levels will help you to recognise aggressive, assertive and passive behaviours.
