2. The Bedford College Group Joins Bedfordshire Chamber of Commerce as a Strategic Partner

The Bedford College Group is proud to announce its new status as a Strategic Partner of the Bedfordshire Chamber of Commerce, strengthening ties between education and local businesses.

This partnership, launched in January 2025, creates new opportunities for students while supporting businesses in the region to access emerging talent.

The Bedfordshire Chamber of Commerce represents over 750 businesses, offering networking, training, and advocacy to drive economic growth. This collaboration allows the Group to showcase students’ skills while providing businesses with a direct link to future employees. In turn, the Group can tailor education and training to meet industry needs, helping to address the UK’s skills shortage.

As part of this collaboration, The Bedford College Group will host multiple Chamber events across its venues in the future, encouraging businesses to use facilities for conferences and networking. The Group will also gain editorial opportunities in the Chamber’s Business Focus magazine, reaching both members and external organisations, while benefitting from significant website coverage and sponsorship opportunities at Chamber events.

The Bedford College Group looks forward to continuing to develop this relationship, together with a similar partnership with Northants Chamber of Commerce and building a stronger future for Bedfordshire, Milton Keynes and Northamptonshire.
