CHIC’s new website will be launched in July with a whole new look and feel.

As part of this exercise, we plan to include a new members and supply chain page, displaying your organisations key objectives and values to encourage collaboration and new business opportunities.

In preparation for this we will be collating information from each of our members and supply chain partners. For any organisations who have not yet provided content we will check that we can extract relevant information from your own websites. This can be updated at any point preceding or following the launch. Any other relevant forms of short media such as images, videos and testimonials are also welcome.

If you would like to provide content, please get in touch at ccoulson@chicltd.co.uk.
