Bridgwater Chamber of Commerce Celebrates a Milestone: 200 Members Strong!

Tuesday 15th October, 2024

We are thrilled to announce that the Bridgwater Chamber of Commerce has officially reached 200 members! This achievement marks a significant moment in our journey, reminding us of the strong, vibrant community we’ve built together over the years.

As we reflect on how far we’ve come, we are filled with gratitude for every business that has joined us along the way. From the smallest start-ups to the most established enterprises, each of our members has played an essential role in making our Chamber what it is today—a thriving hub for growth, connection, and collaboration.

Looking back, the Chamber has always been more than just an organisation. It’s a family of businesses and individuals who support each other, work together, and are committed to seeing Bridgwater flourish. This milestone is not just a celebration of numbers; it’s a celebration of the community we’ve created and the future we are building.

Here at the Chamber we are committed to our 3 core principles to CONNECT, PROMOTE & SUPPORT  the local business community, so reaching 200 members is a fantastic milestone on our path to ensuring that the benefits of the incredible opportunities we have here in Bridgwater and the surrounding areas are maximised, first and foremost, for local businesses.

Roger Smith, GM

To our members, past and present, we thank you for your trust, dedication, and passion. Without you, none of this would be possible. And to those considering joining us, we welcome you with open arms—come and be a part of something truly special.

Here’s to the next 200 members and beyond!
