The South West Chambers of Commerce

The South West Chambers of Commerce are a network of all 132 Chambers (large and small) located across the seven counties of the South West Region of England.  Together, this network embraces over 10,000 businesses who between them have some 350,000 employees, thus providing the economic welfare for at least 500,000 people (equating to 10% of the entire population of the region).

The South West Chambers of Commerce (SWCC) network was established in 1998 as a collaborative venture.  It is currently operating under a three-year Business Plan to 2010, which has sought to clarify and strengthen both the role and modus operandi of the grouping.  The plan also sets out the SWCC's constituent structure and its objectives for the immediate and medium term future.  For further information visit South West Chambers Online.
