Representing & Working for Somerset Businesses.

The Somerset Chamber is a membership-based business support organisation which promotes and lobbies for business development in Somerset.

As a combined force, with Somerset's Town Chambers, we represent over a 1000  businesses. Industries such as manufacturing, tourism, engineering, construction, leisure, IT, consumer goods, finance, and education all make up the diverse economy of Somerset.

We are committed to promoting growth in the business stock of the county and are keen to promote Somerset as a great place to do business. This has led to the Somerset Chamber being asked to deliver the new inward investment programme for the county - Into Somerset. With the tag line "Where you and your business can grow" we regard Somerset as the ideal location for your entrepreneurs to set up home and business.
