The Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce has launched its Business Manifesto for 2025/26, outlining its key priorities for the year ahead. Based on extensive research, including insights from the Quarterly Economic Survey and direct engagement with businesses, the manifesto highlights the challenges faced by local companies and how the Chamber remains committed to supporting business growth across the two counties.
The 2025/26 Manifesto reflects the core areas where our Members look to us for guidance:
- Business Costs
- People, Inclusivity and Diversity
- Cyber Security and Technology
- International Trade
- Profit & Revenue
- Sustainability
These priorities are shaped by real business experiences and will drive the Chamber’s focus throughout the year.
Sharon Smith, Chief Executive of the Chamber, commented:
“Our mission is to ensure that businesses in Herefordshire and Worcestershire have the support, opportunities, and advocacy they need to succeed. This manifesto is more than just a document, it’s a commitment to taking action, listening to our members, and championing their needs at every level.”
