Membership

Members join the Chamber of Commerce for many reasons, but ultimately joining will give you access to a range of benefits designed to help you towards the success of your business. 

Members tell us they value the opportunity to network at our webinars* with like-minded local businesses across Herefordshire and Worcestershire. Businesses are encouraged to take up the offer to raise their profile by sending their latest good news into ‘Business Direction’ (the Chamber’s bi-monthly magazine distributed to over 4,000 readers) and use the many discounted online training* offers.

In addition, businesses that are thinking of trading overseas value the export advice from our dedicated International Trade team.

Members also have access to free HR and legal services, as well as policy advice and representation.

For more information see the full list of benefits HERE.

*Whilst government guidelines are in place, our events and training courses have temporarily moved online so that Members can continue to access the wider network and develop staff during these challenging times.

We know there concerns regarding the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, and the Chamber is doing all that we can to support the business community through these challenging times.

The team at Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce remain in full operation to ensure the best advice is delivered to all Members.

Our in-person events and training courses have temporarily moved online so that businesses can continue to network with other business professionals, and invest in their employees to get them through the latest government measurements.

We regularly update our membership with the latest announcements through our detailed Coronavirus Hub HERE.

We also offer Members the chance to receive our extensive Coronavirus Comms newsletter which shines a spotlight on key announcements.

If you have any queries, please contact 01905 673 600.

We welcome all types of businesses from both the private and public sectors.

All sizes are welcome including those from businesses with just one person working from home to large, international corporate companies. 

We represent all industry types and employee size.

All employees of your company who work in the two counties will be covered by the Membership and therefore eligible for discounts on events and training. They will also able to access the legal advice and health advice telephone support numbers.

Membership runs for a 12-month period from the date on which you join. After this time your Membership will auto-renew every year until resignation is submitted in writing. Resignation must be at least 30 days before the next renewal anniversary. 

When you become a Chamber Member, you have a dedicated Account Executive just a phone call away to help you with any queries which may arise.

Beyond that, all Chamber Members have access to the whole team who are on hand to help with questions relating to PR & Marketing, Events, Training, Policy, International Trade and more.

As with any investment, you get out of Membership what you put in. We aim to make it as easy as possible for you to achieve maximum benefit from your Membership. 

A Business Engagement Executive will act as your initial contact prior to your joining the Chamber. Once you join, you will be allocated a dedicated Account Executive as your main point of contact who will help you to maximise your Membership.
