Testimonials
“Having been involved in many different associations and non-profit organizations, I can say without a doubt, the SBOT has something very special when it comes to advocating on behalf of Surrey’s business interests.
Many associations have great intentions and strategic goals but lack the vision and fortitude to “get the work done”. This is not the case with the SBOT.
The SBOT was able to lend a voice on behalf of Surrey’s construction business community…The SBOT is truly a voice for the business community! It’s not just a vision or slogan.”
Maxime Spakowski, Ferro Building Systems Ltd.
“I have been a member of the Surrey Board of Trade since my business opened in early 2018. My membership has been invaluable to me as I have participated in multiple events including business networking receptions, training sessions, and the Summer Sizzle series. The SBOT provides opportunities a small business would not have access to. A membership makes it possible for an owner to be encouraged and inspired long after their business’s doors first open. I encourage anyone starting a business in Surrey to make SBOT membership a priority.”
Sue Hodson, LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic Guildford
“The biggest benefit from joining the SBOT has been connecting with other businesses in Surrey. The SBOT has supported us by providing networking events where we have direct contact to build connections and relationships with potential customers. Every event that we have attended has been very well organized and lots of fun! I highly recommend becoming an active member of the SBOT.”
Rob Mackay, Big Star Sandwich – Surrey Central
