Manchester Solutions

Welcome to our new website!

If you are a regular user of the Automotive Solutions website you will still be able to access all the content you are used to, but our improved design, layout and functionality will make it easier for you to access all of our services, book online for events and courses, and find out about more about everything we can offer.

Quick-Link Top menu bar

The tabs across the top menu bar show the key content headings.  By clicking directly on the tab you will go through to the main page within that menu.  You can access sub-menu pages by hovering over the tab and then selecting from the drop-down menu.

Membership Matters

In the current economic climate Chamber membership has never been more relevant - can you afford not to be a member?

With a wide range of services available in the membership package and discounts made available to members for business support and training services delivered by the group, you can cover the cost of your membership (and more!) very quickly.

Being a member provides profile-raising opportunities for your business (including the online networking site Chamber Online) while business training courses on issues such as improving your cash flow and reducing bad debt can add real value in times of financial difficulty - all of which can be accessed at a discount. 

Through Chamber Membership you can also access:

  • Up to 10% off Swinton Insurance quotes in the first year with further 10% off renewal
  • Free legal advice line and legal costs insurance package (invaluable if making redundancies)
  • Redundancy help package
  • Outsourced HR Services (discounted for members)
  • Free energy auditing
  • Help and advice with seminars such as "Surviving the Economic Squeeze and Beyond"

If you are not a member yet then click on ‘Join the Chamber' and sign up online.
If you are a member and need advice on getting the most out of your membership your Account Manager is always available to talk to you - or you can call the membership team directly on 0845 602 9469.
