Latest edition of Sedgemoor InBusiness magazine out now

Thursday 26th March, 2026

Sedgemoor Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that the latest edition of Sedgemoor InBusiness is now out and available to read. The March 2026 issue is the Chamber’s Edition 8 and brings together a wide mix of business updates, local insight and community stories from across Sedgemoor. 

This latest edition gives readers a strong snapshot of what is happening across the local business community right now, with features covering everything from Chamber activity and new members to infrastructure, tax, branding, travel and business growth.

One of the new additions in this issue is the launch of the Community Highlights section, created to shine a light on positive stories from across the local business community, including awards, charity projects and collaborations. The Chamber describes this new section as a space dedicated to celebrating the positive things happening in Sedgemoor and the wider area. 

Alongside this, readers can find a substantial feature on the Bridgwater Tidal Barrier Scheme, which outlines the scale and importance of the project for local homes, businesses and infrastructure, as well as a range of practical business content such as Top 5 Tax Tips for Small Businesses, succession planning, branding advice, and smart business travel.

The March edition also reflects the Chamber’s continued focus on supporting and celebrating its members, with messages from Chair Matthew Ruddle and General Manager Roger Smith, a welcome to new members, and updates on Chamber events and student placements. 

Businesses, members and local readers can now explore the latest edition and catch up on the stories, opportunities and developments shaping the Sedgemoor business community.
