Advice and training

Our expertise enables the Chamber's dedicated International Trade team to offer current and potential exporters a comprehensive range of advice, guidance, training and services.

TRADE MANIFESTO

With more than 160 years’ experience in the world of trade, British Chambers of Commerce knows that once you open the door to overseas exports, the possibilities for expansion are endless.

That’s why we want to build a business community in the UK where more than half of firms export. Our Chamber Network already does that, and we want to help thousands more do it, too.

That is why we have published a new Trade Manifesto for 2023.
