Chambers Wales South East, South West and Mid has announced that Thomas Carroll has upgraded its membership status to become the business organisation’s latest corporate partner.

Part of the global business network of over 60 accredited Chambers of Commerce, Chambers Wales South East, South West and Mid promotes, connects, supports and informs businesses across Wales and the world.

Thomas Carroll, established in 1972, is an independent, employee-owned business that provides organisations and individuals with risk management, insurance, wealth management and people services.

With offices in Caerphilly, Swansea, Pembrokeshire, Hereford, Newport, London, and Bristol, it combines national capability with local presence to achieve its goal of being there when it counts for its clients, colleagues and communities. In 2023, the firm became an Employee Ownership Trust, a move reflecting its long-term thinking and puts the future of the business firmly in its employees’ hands.

The partnership symbolises Thomas Carroll’s determination in supporting the local business community by working alongside other ambitious, forward-thinking organisations who are invested in making a difference.

Through this partnership, the Chamber will provide Thomas Carroll with a platform to support members with tailored risk management solutions that give businesses and individuals peace of mind and reach businesses who may not realise the breadth of support available. The partnership operates as a two-way system, creating opportunities for shared insight, collaboration and resilience.

Rhys Thomas, Chief Executive of Thomas Carroll Group, said: “We’ve always believed that the strongest businesses are those that are deeply connected to their local communities. Becoming a partner of the Chamber was a natural extension of this belief.

“Being a partner is more than networking; it’s about contributing to a community where businesses support each other to grow, succeed and stay resilient. We’re proud to play our part, sharing our expertise and building connections that make a real difference.”

Penny Lock, Director of Partnerships and Business Development at Chambers Wales South East, South West and Mid, said: “We are delighted to introduce Thomas Carroll as our latest corporate partner. Being longstanding members of the Chamber, we are confident that this partnership will go on to enhance their business goals while bolstering the opportunities available for our members to access expert insurance services.

“Becoming a Chamber partner provides Thomas Carroll with a valuable space to listen and understand the challenges that businesses face and adapt and innovate their services to meet the needs of the business community. Together with the Chamber’s other partners, we are creating an environment where businesses of all sizes can thrive and be successful.”
