What's a Chamber of Commerce?

A Chamber of Commerce is a local hub to access a broad offer of business support.

There are 53 Chambers of Commerce in the UK, accredited by the British Chambers of Commerce. Together we make up a strong network of trusted champions of businesses, places, and global trade. We represent 73,000 businesses of all shapes, sizes and sectors and these employ almost six million people across the UK, so we have a pretty loud voice!

Every Chamber of Commerce is different. Each structured and resourced to best deliver business support to our region. We each have experts specific to your landscape and business support needs.
