Eydens unlocks benefits to Chamber membership
A family-run locksmith is quids in after using its Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce membership to unlock valuable savings.
Eydens Locksmiths & Security Centre, based in Wallace Road, Coventry, says it has already saved thousands of pounds despite only joining the Chamber in July.
The company, known for its commitment to keeping local homes, businesses and vehicles safe, has tapped into the full array of services available through Chamber membership.
Of all the benefits on offer, Sales Manager Russel Sampson says access to Quest’s professional services, as part of Eyden’s affiliation with the Chamber, has been a particular gamechanger.
“As a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), we are continually looking for effective strategies to minimise ongoing costs,” he said.
“Our decision to join the Chamber has proven invaluable, particularly through our access to Quest, a dedicated provider that offers essential support in HR, legal, health & safety and tax advice,” Russel said.
“By upgrading from the basic free membership to the Quest HR Silver Package we have significantly enhanced our support system, ensuring that we are well-prepared whenever we need assistance.
“The Quest Office HR management platform included in this package has been an indispensable resource, allowing us to streamline our HR processes and realise substantial annual cost savings.
“Overall, our membership with the Chamber has empowered Eydens to operate more efficiently and confidently, making it a smart investment for our business’s future.”
Russel made Chamber membership one of his priorities after joining Eydens in July. He was especially keen for his new employer to take advantage in much the same way as Coventry University, where Russel worked previously. Coventry University were a Chamber member and Russel managed the account.
“Joining the Chamber really is a no-brainer for me,” he added. “It’s not just the services you can access, it’s also the networking opportunities that are opened up by being a member.
“There are so many advantages of being a Chamber member. I really don’t know why you wouldn’t want to have access to that.”
Russel oversees job orders for Eydens engineers operating out of Coventry, Rugby, Birmingham and Nottingham. And, having taken on two new engineers since his arrival, ‘the pressure is on’ to keep finding new opportunities.
The firm has also grown its physical footprint in recent months. The Lord Mayor of Coventry, Councillor Mal Mutton, was on hand to cut the ribbon when the firm celebrated the extension of its shop counter in Wallace Road.
Whether through charitable initiatives or providing peace of mind to residents, Eydens has built a strong reputation as a dependable, community-focused partner in safeguarding Coventry and Warwickshire, with more than 2,000 commercial clients in its database.
The company, which launched in 1998, actively supports the local community, offering expert advice, emergency locksmith assistance and innovative security solutions tailored to the specific needs of the customer.
