    Expert Hour: The Employment Rights Act 2025 – What you need to know

    The Employment Rights Act 2025 will pave the way for what the Government describes as 'the biggest upgrade to workers' rights in a generation'. It will start to have a significant and wide-ranging impact on organisations as early as April 2026 – and now is the time to understand what will be changing and when.

    Topics to be covered will include;

    • Unfair Dismissal Rights
    • Shortened probationary periods
    • Ending Fire and Rehire
    • Trade Union News
    • Family Leave and Anti-Discrimination
    • Protection against Harassment
    • Implementation of the Fair Work Agency
    • Collective Redundancy Consultation
    • Increased Tribunal Time Limits

        NETWORKING EVENT 
        Networking Breakfast - Flare Audio's Success Story- How a small team in a garage built a global brand 

        We’re delighted to welcome Naomi Roberts, co-founder of Flare Audio, as our keynote speaker.

        What began as a team of three building speakers in a garden garage has grown into a globally recognised audio technology business, shipping to over 186 countries, supported by artists, producers and names like Stephen Fry and Liam Howlett (The Prodigy). Founded in 2007 by Naomi and Davies Roberts, Flare Audio has grown through passion, perseverance and crowdfunding, earning the King’s Award for Innovation in 2025. Naomi shares Flare’s story with rare honesty - the highs, the hard graft and the deeply personal reality of building a business that truly matters. Her talk is inspiring, refreshingly real, and one you’ll find yourself completely absorbed in.

        Here's what one our Peer Group Members said about a recent talk by Naomi:

        "I hung onto her Every. Single. Word. She told the incredible business story of Flare Audio in such an honest and humble way that I was glued to my chair and had to remind myself to close my mouth. She didn't try to gloss over how deeply personal and exhausting it can be to build a business that matters to you, and explained how she achieved celebrity fans just through sharing with them her love and passion for her products. It was, I believe, the best talk from a businessperson I've ever heard. Naomi simply spoke from the heart about how and why they'd built the business, and the ups and downs along the way."Gina Hollands, Hollands Associates

              CHAMBER TRAINING ACADEMY
              Masterclass: Finance for the Non-Finance Professional 

              Course details:  The course will aim to breakdown and explain the various aspects of accountancy in business for the non financial person. More often than not business owners are shown a set of company accounts or management accounts and don’t understand what they are looking at let alone, what they are signing off on. We will go through the various key aspects including the Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet, Management Accounts, Budgets and Cashflows. The aim will be simplify things and explain the terminology so that you feel more comfortable looking at figures.

              Who is it for: Business owners and anyone involved in the financial side of running a business.   

              What will I get out of it? By the end of the seminar you will have a clear understanding of financial statements and hopefully some useful tips to make things easier for you moving forward. You will also get a chance to ask any questions that you may have, no matter how trivial you think it may be. The chances are if you are thinking it, someone else is as well. Feel free to submit any specific items you want covered before the event and we will incorporate it for you.

              Who is it by: Laura Clark from Galloways Accounting in Worthing. Laura has worked in accountancy for 13 years after having completed her degree in Accountancy and Finance. Laura is a fully qualified member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants and holds her practicing certificate which allows her to fully manage her portfolio of clients.
