The Cheltenham Chamber of Commerce has been the influential voice of the business community for well over a century.
We may be more than 120 years old, but we remain focused on the future. Over this period we have adapted to meet the changing needs of a hugely diverse range of businesses. And we continue to do so in a town that boasts a unique and evolving blend of heritage, traditional and ultra high-tech enterprises.
For many Members networking is a key reason to join, but the Chamber also offers ways for them raise awareness among the whole local business community, as well as services such as legal and financial help, or office space. And that is just the tip of the iceberg.
The Executive board are here to help Members make the most of these. A team of volunteers with great pride in our town, they work in collaboration with partners to deliver training and business intelligence. They represent business community interests at town and county level. They promote education initiatives to help future generations develop relevant work skills, and a social value agenda to help local businesses get a bigger share of large supply chains and encourage CSR and sustainability efforts.
They are supported by our amazing Membership Administrator, Sarah West.
You can meet the Board and see who does what here.

We’re more than a Chamber; we’re a business community. With a burning passion for fostering business growth and development, the Cheltenham Chamber of Commerce provides a supportive environment, especially during challenging economic times.
Paying to join a business membership organisation is a great investment when you’re starting out in business or running a business in tough economic times; but running a business can be a lonely process and membership organisations, like the Cheltenham Chamber of Commerce, can provide the support needed to help your business to thrive.

The support and networking opportunities that the Chamber offered to me as director of a new business really appealed. The board and members I spoke to seemed really interested in my business.
