The Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce has launched a free business magazine app for a iPhones and iPads.
The Chamber BM app is a mobile version of the group’s bi-monthly business magazine, Chamber Business Matters. The app updates whenever a new magazine is released.
Simon Beardsley, chief executive of the Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce, said: “Nearly 50% of the adult population in the UK now has a smartphone, and feedback from our members highlighted a desire to receive information from the Chamber electronically – so we decided to explore the idea of creating an app.
“It’s about giving people a choice. Currently over 4,000 copies are delivered for free to members and non members across Lincolnshire.
“In a recent survey 92% of our members questioned said that they read the magazine for updates, networking opportunities and workshops that they can attend to learn new business skills.
“But in a digital age we can not ignore those who want to access information through their smart phones and mobile devices.
“This app means that members and non members can keep up to date with the Chamber’s news whilst they travel around the county and country doing business.”
Chamber BM was built with KM Media & Marketing, a local publisher in Lincoln.
John Owens, a Lincoln based online marketing consultant and trainer, said: “I prefer using electronic formats to get my information because I work away from the office a lot.”

A senior lecturer recently celebrated the news that East Midlands Railway will increase its train capacity on what he felt was an “overcrowded” service between Lincoln and Leicester.
Amir Badiee lives in Loughborough and for the past seven years has been commuting to his job at the University of Lincoln, but over the last two years he believes the train service has got worse. When he complained back in March he said he didn’t receive any response, but he believes his recent concerns aired in The Lincolnite helped to prompt a positive outcome.
Schools and universities in Lincolnshire recognise the potential benefits, but also the concerns, over the use of artificial intelligence.
The results of the government’s first ever Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence in Education’ report were published on Tuesday, November 28. It was open for 10 weeks and closed on August 23 this year, with 567 responses received during that time. Most respondents were “broadly optimistic” about the use of GenAI in education.
