About the Chamber

Redbridge Chamber of Commerce is here to connect, promote and represent businesses across the London Borough of Redbridge. Some of our members are brand new. Others have traded here for decades. They all want the same thing, which is to do better business locally.

What the Chamber is for

A chamber gives local firms a recognised place in their community. It also gives them a way to meet each other. Above all, it gives them one voice when local decisions affect them.

So we work on three fronts. First, we connect businesses by bringing people together at events held across the London Borough of Redbridge. Second, we promote our members, so more people across the borough discover who they are and what they do. Third, we represent local businesses by speaking up for them with the people and organisations making decisions that affect Redbridge.

Connect. Promote. Represent.

Speaking up for Redbridge business

The Chamber works with Redbridge Council, Ilford BID and other local organisations. Together, we support growth across the borough and help shape the decisions that affect local businesses.

The Chamber is member-funded. It is led by a Leadership Team of experienced industry professionals, supported by an administrative team. The Leadership Team puts members’ views, concerns and priorities directly to the Council and other local organisations. As a result, decision-makers understand what business owners are really dealing with. One small business may struggle to be heard on its own. However, when the Chamber speaks for hundreds of local businesses, that collective voice is much harder to ignore.

What members get

Membership is more than a logo on your website. It brings credibility, visibility, connections and influence. It also gives you access to a respected local business community that can open doors.

In practice, that means networking opportunities and the chance to speak and exhibit at our monthly and quarterly events. It also means promotion through Chamber channels, access to our exclusive WhatsApp community, and introductions to other members. Our membership page explains the different membership levels, what each one includes, and what it costs.

Who should join

Are you a sole trader who is just getting started? Then the Chamber is an affordable way to meet people and get noticed. Are you already well established? Then it is a way to reach the whole borough and to have a say in how it grows.

We welcome firms of every size and sector. If you are not sure which membership level fits, just get in touch and we will talk it through.

Who runs the Chamber?

The Chamber is member-funded and led by a Leadership Team of experienced industry professionals, with help from an administrative team. The Leadership Team puts members’ views and priorities to the Council and to other local organisations.

How is the Chamber different from a networking group?

Networking is part of what we do. It is not all of it, though. We also speak up for members locally, and we promote them across the borough. As a result, membership carries a standing that an informal group cannot offer.
