About Us
Greater Manchester Chamber is the largest Chamber in the UK, with over 4,000 members, and 35,000 more businesses in our wider community.
We are the leading independent business representation body, advocating the voice of business in Greater Manchester. With over 230 years of experience, the Chamber is committed to creating an inclusive, collaborative network putting Greater Manchester on the national and global stage.

As part of the British Chambers of Commerce accredited network - 133 Chambers strong and the world’s second largest business network - we give our community unrivalled access to opportunities locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally.

The Chamber have been truly fabulous every single step of the way over the last year. It is so refreshing as a business owner to know the support is always there, with very helpful and friendly staff. Every person I have dealt with at the Chamber have been brilliant and I cannot fault a thing about my membership. The networking events are so well thought-out and organised. I've made some fabulous friends along the way too.
16,500 delegates at over 250 events last year alone.
Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce is THE best place for businesses of all sizes to receive support and advice. I've been a member for nearly 10 years and regularly attend meetings & events to not only share experience & challenges being faced but more importantly to learn from others & network. This is an amazing organisation which I would highly recommend to all business owners and managers.
