The outlook is tough; however here’s one simple step to control your outgoings
Our aim is to celebrate the strength and success of business across the UK. BCC events provide businesses with opportunities to connect with potential customers, peers and parliamentarians.
In addition, your local Chamber runs events throughout the year allowing you to connect and network with other companies, showcase your business and keep up-to-date with the latest news, issues and sector insight.
Our 2021 Global Annual Conference, held virtually on 16 and 17 June was one of the main events in the business calendar and was attended by high profile politicians, inspirational business leaders and the wider Chamber Network, including international representation from the Global Business Network.

Responding to the news that fully vaccinated travellers from the EU and US will not have to quarantine, British Chambers of Commerce Co-Executive Director, Claire Walker, said: “For the hundreds of thousands of people directly employed in the travel industry and the many more that are part of supply chains, this will be welcome news."

Today’s ONS data release shows services trade with the EU fell at a brisker rate than trade with the rest of the world over the two years to the end of March 2021. Services exports to the EU fell by 14.7% in that period and imports by 38.8%."
