"Clunky, overcomplicated systems quickly turn travel admin into a drag on productivity." โ€” Sophie Fleming, Global Head of Trainline Business

New research from Trainline Business found that 67% of business travellers would make quicker decisions with clearer booking recommendations, while one-third say a single booking platform would free up time for revenue-generating work.

A simple reminder that streamlining everyday processes can have a real impact on productivity and growth ๐Ÿ“ˆ

This month, we're shining a spotlight on Adam Gillett from We Do Your IT Limited, our Chamber Member of the Month ๐ŸŒŸ

How much time is your team losing to travel admin? ๐Ÿค”
New research from Trainline Business found that:

๐Ÿ“Š 63% of business travellers feel overwhelmed by travel administration
๐Ÿ“Š 62% spend too long comparing travel options
๐Ÿ“Š 58% say travel-related tasks divert their focus from day-to-day work

When booking systems are fragmented and processes are complicated, valuable time is spent managing travel arrangements instead of focusing on customers, projects and business growth.

For organisations looking to boost productivity, simplifying routine processes can make a real difference.

โ˜• A great start to the day at our Bristol Chamber Networking Breakfast!

This morning, we welcomed members and guests to The Board Walk Bristol, beneath the towering masts of Brunel's SS Great Britain, for a morning of networking, conversation and new connections.

While the promised sunshine didn't quite make an appearance, the grey skies certainly couldn't detract from the beautiful harbourside setting. It was fantastic to see both new and familiar faces from across the region coming together over breakfast to share ideas and build relationships.

A huge thank you to our sponsor Origin Workspace for their continued support, and to the team at The Board Walk for their warm hospitality and fantastic venue.

As part of Social Economy West, 3SG recently hosted a peer network at Roseberry Road Studios for leaders in the charity sector.

12 leaders from across Bath and North East Somerset (BaNES) came together to explore what leadership in 2026 could look like, guided by Sarah Williment, Founder of The Questioning Iris Co. and her insightful approach to learning.

Caroline Frances-King from The Museum of East Asian Art shared after the session:

โ€œThis is such an important network for charity leaders - it gives us the space to connect more deeply, learn from one another, and grow as a collective.โ€
