Why I Joined: The Ladder & Co Journey
When Leighton founded Ladder and Co, he had one clear goal: to help businesses grow through smart digital marketing strategies and advertising, both locally and internationally.
However as every business owner knows, growing a company comes with its challenges. Knowing that he needed the right support, connections, and resources, Leighton made the decision to join the Auckland Business Chamber – a decision that’s made a real difference in his journey.
Why They Joined
Running a business isn’t easy – and Leighton knew he couldn’t do it alone.
“Running a business is difficult. I knew the Chamber would provide support and resources that would help us navigate through these challenges.”
For Ladder and Co, the Chamber offered a reliable network, expert advice, and practical tools to support their growth journey.
Unlocking New Opportunities
One of the most valuable benefits Leighton discovered through Chamber membership was access to networks and opportunities he might not have otherwise reached.
“The Chamber has provided us opportunities to network with people we wouldn’t ordinarily have access to, develop our strategies, and open doors we wouldn’t normally have the opportunity to walk through.”
Through member events, networking opportunities, and access to expert resources, Ladder and Co has been able to strengthen its business strategies and build new relationships that help drive growth.
Growing with Like-Minded People
For Leighton, the Chamber experience is about more than just networking — it’s about building a community.
“What I like best about the Chamber is the opportunity to expand your networks, meet with people, and be with like-minded individuals who are ambitious and driven to grow their businesses.”
Being part of an environment full of motivated, growth-focused business owners has helped Ladder and Co stay inspired, stay focused, and stay ahead.
Conclusion
For Leighton and Ladder and Co, joining the Auckland Business Chamber has been a powerful move toward building a stronger, more connected business. From valuable introductions and strategic resources to a supportive business community, the Chamber has played a key role in Ladder and Co’s success so far — and there’s even more growth ahead.
