About Us

What We Do

Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce is a Membership organisation that supports businesses across the two counties and beyond.

The Chamber makes it easy to collaborate and liaise with businesses in the area

“Not only with the fantastic networking events and breakfast clubs but to be part of a community that wants to improve and grow. I can highly recommend working with Beth Ingham. Being new to Babington we had a meeting to introduce me to the Chamber. Her passion and knowledge really came through and coming away from the meeting I am excited to engage with the Chamber and its Members.”
