Sir Lindsay praised the chamber for investing in local infrastructure that directly supports enterprise and economic development.
He added: “Lancashire has always been a place of innovation and entrepreneurship. These new spaces are a fantastic example of how local organisations like the chamber are helping to power that forward.
“The proud county is the beating heart for small to medium-sized businesses and this excellent new centre can help them grow and prosper. People always tell me London is where to wealth is made, but I always tell them it’s Lancashire.”
The new Chamber Meeting Spaces reflect the organisation’s commitment to fostering a strong and connected business environment across the region. With increasing demand for flexible, high-quality venues for both internal and external use, the Fulwood location offers a strategic and accessible hub for professionals.
Dawn Cheetham, president of the NWL Chamber, said: “We’re delighted to open our new Chamber Meeting Spaces and to have Sir Lindsay here to do the honours. These facilities have been designed with our members in mind — to be practical, professional and welcoming.
“Whether you’re hosting a board meeting, delivering a training session, or running a networking event, these spaces are here to support the local business community.”
The spaces are now open for bookings and available for hire to both members and non-members, with a range of room configurations, AV options, and catering packages available.
