Local Presidents
The Chamber has a team of Local Presidents who work with us, to represent the business community and to shape the voice of business in GM.
Alongside the Chamber Assembly and Chamber President, our Local Presidents provide a critical link between our members in each area and the Chamber team working across Greater Manchester and beyond. They play an important role in representing local business views and supporting their communities.
Our Presidents are actively involved in a wide range of meetings and events, and receive regular updates and briefings on new services and Chamber campaigns.
Get to know your Presidential Team and Local President by visiting your local area page — or meet them in person at our Local Area Networking events throughout the year.
