Chamber HR

Proactive Employment and Health & Safety Support

Due to the increasing burden of employment legislation and the proliferation of "no win no fee" solicitors, dealing with employment issues is becoming increasingly difficult, time consuming and costly. For example, did you know that if you employ at least one person you need a compliant Contract of Employment, and a Grievance and Disciplinary Procedure? Failure to comply could lead to financial penalties being imposed by an Employment Tribunal.

As a result we have teamed up with Qdos Consulting and Composite Legal Expenses to provide the Chamber HR human resource solution as part of your membership benefits.

Concierge - new hospitality industry insurance
Independent insurance brokers Lucas Fettes & Partners have teamed up with us to offer our tourism members a bespoke package of hoteliers insurance. This product is exclusive to the IW Chamber and offers a comprehensive business insurance package with exceptional levels of automatic cover and no requirement to declare wage or turnover details.

Concierge will cover property damage insurance, business interruption, Employers liability and Public liability, cash and will have additional covers that can be added on to suit the needs of the hotelier.

International Trade
International Trade Services offered through Business Link provides excellent opportunities for exporting and their services are offered at a discount to Chamber Members. The Chamber is the sole Island agent for export documentation. If you have considered business opportunities around the world, but have some reservations, the Chamber can help you find the right advice. The Chamber regularly receives details of International Trade opportunities. We have now set up an International Trade Notice Board on this website where all the international trade information is posted. The information can only be viewed by Chamber members in the Members Only section of the website.

Chamber Health - Westfield Health Scheme
The IW Chamber of Commerce and the Westfield Health Scheme have developed an exclusive employee healthcare plan exclusively for Chamber members. For just £1 per week the Plan represents an extremely valuable employee benefit. This if the first plan of its kind to provide access to the latest technology in diagnostic scanning together with an Employee Assistance Programme, and cash benefits for a range of everyday healthcare treatments. Easy to introduce and administer - a low cost alternative to private medical insurance - a valuable tool in wage negotiations - cost can be offset against corporation tax.

Chamber Fleet Assist - Preferential Rates from the AA
Whatever the size of a business, it is important to keep company vehicles on the road. The slightest delay could have far reaching consequences for the business. Chamber Fleet Assist gives members access to a range of breakdown and recovery packages for their company vehicles from the AA at preferential rates.

Chamber Vehicle Management
This expanded service in partnership with the AA will allow members to access vehicle funding facilities including Contract Hire, Leasing and Purchasing at rates normally only available to large fleet customers! This service covers cars, vans and commercials and includes advice from one of the UK's leading accountancy firms, on which of the various funding methods would be the most cost effective for your business.

Let Chamber Vehicle Management help you find, finance and maintain your vehicles and leave you to concentrate on running your business. Once the availability of any particular vehicle has been established along with a competitive price, the vehicle can normally be supplied through a local Island dealer.
