Sedgemoor Chamber Seeks New Board Members

Friday 11th July, 2025

Sedgemoor Chamber of Commerce is growing, and we’re inviting forward-thinking professionals to help shape what comes next. We are currently looking for new Board Members to join us during this exciting time of expansion.

As the voice of business in Sedgemoor, our Chamber supports a thriving network of entrepreneurs, SMEs and industry leaders across the district. We’re proud to champion local business, and our Board plays a vital role in guiding that mission.

We’re especially keen to hear from individuals with experience in construction, hospitality, or employment and HR. If you are a senior professional or business owner who is passionate about supporting your local economy, this is your chance to make a meaningful impact.

Board members contribute by attending monthly meetings, supporting governance, offering sector insight, and representing the Chamber at events throughout the year. You’ll help shape our strategy, guide key decisions, and be part of an ambitious organisation with a clear vision for the future.

This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with other local leaders, develop your own board-level experience, and support businesses across Sedgemoor to grow and succeed.

Apply now and take your seat at the table. Help us write the next chapter for Sedgemoor’s business community.
