WELCOMEFounded in 1922, the East Grinstead Chamber of Commerce has steadily expanded over the years to serve the local business community. The Chamber's aims are: - To speak on behalf of the business community
- To provide a network of contacts locally, nationally and internationally
- To deliver services of value to members
The Chamber holds regular meetings covering a wide variety of subjects and social functions. The Chamber has sub-committees covering roads, planning and car parking, membership and services to members, social, press and public relations and town centre management. The Chamber plays a representative role in local planning issues aiming to keep retail outlets in the town centre. It has close contacts with CADIA, the Industries Association for Sussex & Surrey. Any issue that affects the business life of the town can be raised by members at Chamber meetings. General meetings are held quarterly where members and non members are always welcome. Currently the Chamber represents more than 110 businesses in the East Grinstead area, covering all industry sectors, ranging in size from sole traders to large enterprise players. Many have a long association with the Chamber and that experience has helped shape the support and services we offer. Our portfolio of member services is being designed to reflect the local needs of a wide range of companies and organisations and it will be developed as a result of detailed consultation with Members. All our Members have the opportunity for business-to-business networking, marketing and promotion. Members receive priority access to business support, information and events designed to help companies become more competitive and better informed on local and national issues which concern their business. The East Grinstead Chamber of Commerce represents its Members' views to local government (East Grinstead Town Council and West Sussex District Council) on a wide range of issues that have a direct effect on daily business life.
