Meet Our Partners and Patrons
How we work with Patrons and Partners
The Technology Supply Chain is different to other membership organisations. We proactively work with you to ensure you achieve your goals by:
Working in Partnership
We work closely with all our patrons and partners. This allows us to get to know you better, spot the right referral opportunities for you, and help you achieve your goals. The key difference is that TSC works with you as a team to make your goals a reality.
Boosting Your Marketing
You will enjoy a marketing boost putting you in front of more companies. This includes being profiled in our newsletter and social media. Your logo will be included on the first and last slides of all our talks and on our website. You will also be invited to patron and partner-only lunches.
Raising Your Profile
You will get plenty of opportunities to raise your profile. This includes speaking at our workshops, exhibiting at our live events (including the Innovation Awards) and attending our wide-array of events including breakfast briefings, rugby lunches, after-work drinks and roundtables.
Benefits
Benefits to Partners & Patrons
Partners and Patrons enjoy a wide range of benefits including
Mutually Beneficial Referrals
This sets us apart from other memberships. We work closely with our members, Partners and Patrons to help them overcome their business challenges.
We take time to understand our members and refer them to the right opportunities for them including, where there is a need and a good fit, our partners and patrons.
All our members want to innovate and grow. They positively welcome referrals to partners and patrons offering support with growth, cost-cutting, finance, business improvement or innovation.
We only make referrals when they are right for the member and right for you. We do not (and never will) charge referral fees.
Work in Partnership
We work closely in partnership with our Partners and Patrons. This allows us to get to know you better, spot the right introductions for you and help you effectively engage with our members to everyone’s benefit.
Growth and Funding Support
At the start and then every 6 months, we will review and connect you with the right grants, innovation support, and growth opportunities for your business. These change frequently so a regular review meeting is vital. We even review your grant applications.
