TESTIMONIALS

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY

“We are proud of our long-standing relationship with the British Chambers of Commerce. As a founding member of the Business Council, we have played a leading role in drawing up the Global Britain report, highlighting the importance of exporting and inward investment. The recommendations in the report are ambitious and realistic.”
Heathrow
“The British Chambers of Commerce Business Council is a powerful advocacy body. The offer is compelling – representation rooted in local communities and the ability to help shape the national debate. We’re proud to have partnered with the BCC to launch our skills programme to unlock the planning system. Getting financial backing for the idea from Government was only possible through the support of the BCC.”
Aviva
“The BCC is the driving force behind Britain’s entrepreneurs and innovators, and this new council will help give the organisation a much bigger voice on national issues in the UK and beyond. As the economy struggles with challenging conditions, having multiple business groups to clearly communicate policy needs and issues affecting employers can only be a good thing.”
