Gail Arnold is a consummate professional and incredibly well known and networked. She always puts members first and has made some useful introductions to us. At events I have attended that have been run by Gail, she always makes everyone feel welcome and ensures the event goes smoothly.

IPU Group have been a member of the Black Country Chamber of Commerce Platinum Group for around 3 years now and have found it to be a great source of information for our business.

There is a huge amount of support available through peer-to-peer groups, general development programmes covering everything from Sales & Marketing to HR, best practice sharing and of course many networking events. One of the huge benefits is having a main point of contact, which for us is Gail Arnold. Essentially Gail will take any question, issue or enquiry and deal with it personally so you can be assured of a speedy response.

I would liken The Platinum Group to an extension of our own business, always on hand to assist and support our business in everything we do.
