            will tell us about the Maltings and what they offer and their plans for the future. The Maltings is a jewel for Farnham and one that many of us as business leaders perhaps dont realise quite what it has to offer to us as business leaders invested in the town.

A young, vibrant studio that has the added advantage of nursing veterans from some of the UK’s greatest creative studios and described by the COO of SEGA as "an extremely attractive investment proposition with a great deal of talent."

            After 18 successful months at the helm, Tracey Corney has handed over the chair of the Farnham Chamber to Nick Kent.

           "We are really proud of the work Tracey has done in the last 12-18 months to re-start the Farnham Chamber out of Covid. The difficult work has been done and the Chamber would have never got to where we have without Tracey's enthusiasm and drive. The Chamber has never been more active and never had more members than now. Alongside my fellow Committee Members, we look forward to supporting this important part of Farnham's business community.

           It is an exciting time for Farnham's business community with the recent voting in of the Farnham BID, a Chamber that is stronger than ever, the UCA that has impressive plans and a town centre that is the envy of other market towns in the region.

           The world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has experienced remarkable growth in recent months. While you may have dipped your toes into AI with ChatGPT, have you considered the broader, long-term implications for your business? Whether you're in finance or insurance, hospitality or retail, HR or consultancy, you need to embrace AI to keep a competitive edge. Karen will highlight practical ways to take action and some of the risks you should be aware of.

           Farnham BID ballot opens
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The BID is very relevant to many of our members with premises located in the town, but also to members who use Farnham. If you have business premises (and are a rate payer with rateable value over £5k) then you would have received a ballot paper this week. It is very important you vote either way, as the outcome can be decided on a percentage of the turnout, even if the turnout is low, which can have an implication for the next 5 years. Voting ballot papers must be returned before the end of October.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            The Farnham Chamber of Commerce stands independently from the BID (as many of our members are outside the town centre geography) but are keen to ensure our members have a good understanding of the BID so those can vote relevantly. The Chamber also serves as a conduit back to the BID working group if you have questions. We have tried to answer some relevant questions below, and here is a

All things we knew but great to hear it from a very charismatic leader of one of Farnham's great brands. Our members come from a diverse mix of sectors and industries (from Premiership Football agencies to SEO experts), but all share one thing in common... we are all business leaders  in Farnham that share common interests.

      <title>Learn about the Farnham BID at our Q&amp;A Event</title>
      <link>https://www.farnhamchamber.org.uk/learn-about-farnham-bid</link>
      <description>Farnham Chamber hosts the Farnham BID team for Q&amp;A, 28th Feb 2023 at the Castle Inn</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Meet some of the Farnham BID team as we host a Q&amp;amp;A - 28th Feb
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Business improvement districts are often seen as an effective way in which businesses can take control and improve their trading environment. BID’s are funded and controlled directly by the businesses that pay for them. As a Farnham business that pays levys and are in the geography of the proposed BID, if voted in, you would choose which projects the BID fund is spent on.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Since 2004 when Government passed the Business Improvement Legislation, there have been over 300 successful BID’s in the UK, which over the next 5 years will generate over £100 million in investment.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            The Farnham BID may well raise between £100-300k p/a through a levy that could potentially be raised through contributions. More details can be seen
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

          &#xD;
    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           . The planned a timescale is a vote in Qtr 2 2023 for those applicable business rate payers.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
