Proudly Surrey Hills
A visible sign that an organisation is part of the Surrey Hills Enterprises community
It shows a shared commitment to supporting a thriving, sustainable economy within the Surrey Hills National Landscape. Surrey Hills Enterprises members can use the Proudly Surrey Hills mark to show their connection to the Surrey Hills and their support for its businesses, communities and landscape.
Who is in the network
From independent businesses to major employers
Surrey Hills Enterprises brings together sole traders, producers, charities, professional services, established businesses and larger employers with a shared interest in a thriving, sustainable Surrey Hills economy.
Different organisations use the network in different ways. Some want practical support and greater visibility. Others want stronger local supply chains, valuable introductions, staff engagement, partnership opportunities or a meaningful way to support the area in which they operate.
“The membership has opened doors to meaningful connections with like-minded businesses, community leaders and organisations.”
