In existence since 1813

About us.

Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce has been in existence in some form since 1813. It was borne out of a desire from businesses to join together to represent common interests, to meet, to trade and to grow.

To this day it continues to represent the interests of businesses in Staffordshire, to support them in growth and prosperity, and to be their voice in the political sphere.

How we're run

Run by members, for members.

The Chamber is governed by businesses from across the county — elected, unpaid and accountable to the membership.

The Board

Thirteen elected representatives from the Council and the Local Area Advisory Boards, each of whom has served for over a year. The Board's role is to make sure the Chambers is a well run business.

It has three non-executive officers: President, Deputy President and Treasurer.

Thirty-six elected members, plus Forum Chairs, Local Area Advisory Board Presidents, the Finest Chair and Honorary Members.
