Keeping the Heart in Hertfordshire

‘Let’s Keep the Heart in Hertfordshire’ is a new campaign being delivered by Herts Chamber to help support the economic recovery and stability for the county.

The campaign set out to achieve a number of objectives, namely:

Promoting ‘Buy Local’
Organising Supply Chain and Meet the Buyer events
Showcasing Hertfordshire Professional Services
Launching a platform to facilitate introductions to companies who have county-based contracts requiring suppliers, talent and services.
Focusing attention on the talent pool of Hertfordshire residents by helping promote apprenticeships and other recruitment opportunities

The campaign will create new connections and support for Hertfordshire businesses, at exactly the time they need it the most. Find out more

Representing your business

Established in 1924, the Hertfordshire Chamber of Commerce is a privately run membership organisation which can open doors for local businesses and organisations by helping them to grow their profile and connect with other businesses locally, nationally and globally, through a range of  membership benefits  and  networking opportunities.

Our membership base is predominantly SMEs whom we are dedicated to supporting, but we also support larger corporations.

We are the largest independent business support organisation within Hertfordshire and the fastest growing Chamber within the national British Chambers of Commerce network for 2019.

Our excellent International Trade Programme is well placed to help you develop your business both at home and abroad.

Our expertise in organisational development, training, marketing and sales combined with our business experience and established events programme will enable you to foster strategic partnerships, connect with other members and provide you and your staff with the knowledge and confidence to grow and sustain your business.

Your organisation can gain competitive advantage by being part of the Hertfordshire Chamber. We offer regular business networking events across the county to provide you with an opportunity to meet with other decision makers.

Our events are an ideal place for voicing your opinions, networking with other businesses, sharing ideas and best practice and developing collaborative partnerships. Promoting your organisation across our extensive media channels will provide a strong presence for your business.

The many events and opportunities we offer include:

Chamber Lunches
Women in Leadership Lunches
PA Club Lunches
Networking Opportunities
Topical Conferences
Expert Masterclasses
Training Seminars & Workshops
Export Documentation and International Training Events
And more recently, online events including Summits and Webinars

Our ambassadors are well connected and can introduce you to fellow business leaders, with the knowledge and experience of a similar challenge and are well placed to offer advice.

We are in a unique position to help our members grow.

With connections not just in Hertfordshire, we can open doors nationally and internationally, through the accredited chambers network and overseas business networks across forty-one high growth markets.
