Dear members

As a micro business owner based in Southwark since 2017, I’m very excited to be stepping in as acting Chair for the Southwark Chamber of Commerce and to represent the diverse business community in the borough. I am joined on the committee by an enthusiastic team of business owners based in Southwark or that have strong business links to the area eager to see the Chamber grow its relevance and its connection to the local community.

The committee has a busy time ahead leading to the Southwark Chamber’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) in July 2023 when a Chair and board of executive members will be selected. Leading up to then, the committee looks forward to connecting with our current members and hearing their thoughts about how the Chamber can better serve them and the needs of local businesses in general as we rebuild and look to the future. Having listened to what our members have to say, we will present our plan for the next 12 months at the AGM.

If you are a local business in Southwark, I hope you will take this time as the opportunity to connect with us and shape what the Southwark Chamber of Commerce can do for you.

Best wishes to you all.
