Gemma Lancaster

Events & Partnerships Executive

What are you here to do?

I’m passionate about building strong relationships with businesses and organisations both in and outside of membership. My role involves connecting companies, fostering collaboration, and creating opportunities that drive growth and innovation for our members & SCCI. Another exciting aspect of my job is exploring sponsorship and marketing opportunities for our members. I aim to work closely with businesses to understand their needs and help them thrive.

Your ‘USP’ - what unique thing do you bring to the role that makes you brilliant at it? 

My USP lies in my passion for building connections, combined with my background in fundraising, marketing and events. This experience has taught me the importance of attention to detail, forward planning and the value of fostering strong, trusting relationships. My enthusiasm drives me to ensure that every interaction is meaningful, helping businesses achieve their goals.

Why is Sheffield the best UK city to live, work and play?

Sheffield has allowed me to create a vibrant network of friends, a supportive Sheffield ‘family’, and a fantastic professional circle. The sense of community here is incredible, and I appreciate that I can walk into the thriving city centre and still have the stunning peaks right on my doorstep. You are also never too far away from a new coffee shop or friendly running club to discover! This passion for Sheffield fuels my work at the Chamber, where I’m excited to be at the heart of it all!
