About this Event

Be in the room where local decision-makers meet local businesses.


Join fellow Chamber members for a high-impact morning of insight, influence and honest discussion on what’s happening in Darlington and what’s coming next.


What’s in it for you?


You’ll hear directly from Lola McEvoy, MP for Darlington, as she outlines her vision and priorities for the year ahead – and what it means for you and your business.


You’ll also have the chance to shape the conversation during our state of trade Q&A session, where Chamber members speak about local business conditions – what’s working, what’s not, and where support is needed most. These insights feed directly into the Chamber’s policy activity, ensuring your voice is heard by local, regional and national decision-makers.


Don’t miss out. This is your opportunity to connect with local leaders, raise issues affecting your business, and hear how others across the city are navigating the current climate.


This event is exclusive to Chamber members only.


Places are limited. If you’re not a member and would like to attend or find out more about joining, please email: [email protected].
