Working in Partnership with Somerset Businesses

Strengthening our commitment to Somerset’s business community

We’re pleased to share that SS&L has joined the Somerset Chamber of Commerce as Business Partner members. This is an important step in strengthening our commitment to supporting the region’s employers, workforce, and economy.

Partnership has always been at the heart of what we do

Working closely with businesses has always been at the heart of what we do. As an independent training provider rooted in Somerset, we believe the best results come from genuine partnership by taking time to understand organisations, their people, and the challenges they face. Joining the Chamber allows us to deepen those relationships, connect with more businesses across the county, and play a more active role in the county’s business community.

Supporting people and businesses through practical training

For more than a decade, SS&L has worked alongside businesses of all sizes to deliver apprenticeships, professional qualifications and tailored training that support real needs. Whether it’s developing skills, supporting growth, or helping organisations build confident, capable teams, our focus is always on people and practical outcomes.

Working closely with the Somerset Chamber of Commerce

Our Director of Business Development and Partnerships, Heidi Oliver, explains:

“Working closely with businesses is at the heart of what we do at SS&L. Authentic partnership allows us to understand what organisations really need and to work together on practical, long-term approaches to developing people and skills. We’re excited to strengthen our relationship with the Somerset Chamber of Commerce and to build even more meaningful partnerships with its members.”

Looking ahead together

As Business Partner members, we’ll be working alongside the Chamber to share insight, support business-led activity, and contribute to networks and conversations that matter to Somerset’s economy. Just as importantly, it gives us more opportunities to listen to businesses and ensure our apprenticeships and training continue to reflect what works in practice.

Let’s start a conversation

We’re proud of our roots in Somerset and of the long-standing partnerships we’ve built across the county. Joining the Chamber as Business Partner members is a natural next step, strengthening collaboration, supporting people at work and help businesses to thrive.
