GoodShip* Teams Up with Liverpool Chamber to Modernise Business Support

At GoodShip*, we are firm believers that the future of business support isn't about rigid structures. It is about collaboration, agility, and a digital-first approach. That is why we are incredibly proud to announce a strategic partnership with the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, an institution that has been the cornerstone of Liverpool’s business community for an incredible 175 years.

To solidify this future-focused alliance, we are delighted to share that our founder, Gavin Sherratt, has been appointed as the Chamber's new Fractional Consultant for Digital, Creative, and Technology.

This move is a direct, forward-thinking step designed to future-proof the Chamber’s support for a whole new generation of entrepreneurs and innovators.

From Partnership to Practical Action

The Chamber has an unparalleled legacy of support and a massive network. We are now bringing our expertise in modern, creative, and digital strategies to the heart of their operation. Gavin's appointment ensures we are not just consulting, but actively delivering change on the ground.

With more than 27 years of experience in the digital industry, Gavin will provide strategic insight to help shape the Chamber's digital and creative agenda. He will be leading a dedicated digital transformation project, focused on revolutionising the Chamber’s use of data, technology, and AI to better serve its members.

Driving Engagement and Growth

Our focus is clear: empowering the city region’s creative, technology, and start-up communities. These sectors are the engine of future growth for Liverpool, and they need support that understands their unique pace and requirements.

Gavin will personally drive engagement across these sectors, utilising the core of our business: the GoodShip* Fractional Collaboration Model. This innovative approach allows the Chamber to offer top-tier, flexible, and scalable support from seasoned industry professionals.

As our founder, Gavin Sherratt, said: "Liverpool has always been a place of creativity and resilience. I am excited to work with the Chamber through GoodShip to help unlock new opportunities for businesses and drive meaningful change through technology and collaboration. Our goal is to bring a fresh, agile approach to traditional business support, helping the Chamber lead the way."

Building a Sustainable, Supportive Ecosystem

Chamber CEO, Paul Cherpeau, noted that Gavin's appointment "reflects our ambition to embed digital and creative thinking into everything we do for our members. His experience, network and passion for Liverpool's creative and tech community will be invaluable."

This project is a shared vision to support the changing landscape of entrepreneurship in our city. It signals a bold step towards ensuring Liverpool remains a hub of innovation and growth for years to come.

We are ready to set sail and help the Liverpool Chamber lead the charge into the future, building a sustainable, modern business support ecosystem for all.
