Wickham Chamber of Trade is an organisation made up of volunteer business owners who are committed to championing local businesses here in Wickham and Knowle.

Wickham Chamber of Trade welcomes engaged and proactive members of our business community to be an integral part of a connected and informed business network that supports local business to thrive and grow, at every stage.

The Wickham Chamber of Trade (WCT) offers members the opportunity to:

• Develop networks – Running a successful business is about knowing your stuff but who you know can definitely help too!  WCT members regularly network and attend social events so they can make valuable connections and unlock new customers to help their business thrive.
• Promote their business to others – Members have the opportunity to promote what they do to others at WCT meetings.  Businesses will also have a premium listing on the Business Directory page of the WCT website and on our Facebook page.
• Promote collaborative working – WCT members are encouraged to work together, to support each other, to share their knowledge and experience, to innovate and help each other to thrive and grow.
• Provide a safer environment for traders – WCT members work together to ensure that we better protect our businesses against crime and provide the safest and most supportive environment possible for those who work in our village.
• Promote the businesses of Wickham and be involved with initiatives that help spread the word and attract visitors to our beautiful and vibrant village.
• Be part of a collective voice – WCT members have their say on local issues, influence decisions that matter and join forces to effect change.
• Receive exclusive member offers and discounts and even, in some cases, obtain financial assistance towards projects designed to benefit the business community and/or bring trade to the village.

The Wickham Chamber of Trade generally meet bimonthly on the last Wednesday of the month.

Venues will vary as different members volunteer to host meetings.

You can find the next meeting date and venue by visiting the Events page.

The annual membership fee is £65.00.
