What does your business do? When and Why did you join the Brooklyn Chamber?

Peter Petino runs his 18 year-old messenger service from Park Slope: “We work hard to fulfill our mission of connecting businesses – and at reasonable rates. We have courier and messenger routes and shipping services through UPS and DHL throughout the city, with rush routes and same day deliveries. We arrange for storage and repacking and provide rental mailboxes, small bulk mailings and cost analysis consulting – unique services for a messenger business. We've built a great base of clients, small to large, including Chamber Members like Brooklyn Museum, Commerce Bank, Health Plus, Long Island University and Lutheran Medical Center.

We joined the Chamber in 1988, just after I started the business, for support to grow the company.”

How has your Brooklyn Chamber membership helped your business?

“The Chamber helps you to feel and actually be part of an interactive community. It provides a tremendous opportunity for networking with other businesses. Through networking we've developed relationships with several Chamber Members who provide us with the products and services we need to operate – everything from financing to equipment and more. The Chamber’s educational seminars are very important and its free Good Help staffing service has been extremely helpful to us.”
