Sedgemoor Chamber of Commerce Officially Launches Today

Thursday 1st May, 2025

We’re are officially rebranded from Bridgwater Chamber of Commerce to Sedgemoor Chamber of Commerce, effective from today! This change reflects our commitment to better represent the diversity and geographical scope of our membership and aligns with our ambitious growth plans.

The decision to rebrand comes as we continue to expand our reach and influence across the region. With members located from Cheddar to Wellington, spanning over 30 different sectors, including national and international businesses, the name Sedgemoor Chamber of Commerce captures this extensive reach and industry representation more accurately.

Our growth plans are ambitious, and we’re aiming to expand our membership from the current 228 members to 300 by the end of this year and 500 by 2027. We believe this growth will strengthen connections and collaboration across the region and beyond, and enhance our ability to support our members even more effectively.

Our website domain has now changed to www.sedgemoorchamber.co.uk, and our email addresses have been updated accordingly:

  • roger@sedgemoorchamber.co.uk
  • admin@sedgemoorchamber.co.uk
  • accounts@sedgemoorchamber.co.uk

But don’t worry, all old links and addresses will redirect automatically.

We remain fully committed to our three core principles: Connect, Promote, and Support. That hasn’t changed. In fact, it’s now more important than ever as we continue to grow.


What does this mean for you?

We know a change like this might bring up some questions, so here’s a quick Q&A to help:

Will this affect my current membership?

No, your membership remains unchanged and fully active.

Do I need to update anything on my side?

We’d love you to update your own websites with the new Sedgemoor Chamber logo, which is available here:

Are your events changing too?

Yes, events like the Bridgwater Business Expo are now becoming the Sedgemoor Business Expo and will continue to grow under the new name.

Should I follow any new social accounts?

No, we’ve simply updated our existing accounts with our new branding.

  • LinkedIn: @SedgemoorChamberOfCommerce
  • Facebook: @SedgemoorChamberOfCommerce
  • Instagram: @SedgemoorChamber
  • Tik Tok: @SedgemoorChamber

How does this change benefit my business?

This rebrand gives you greater visibility, stronger lobbying power, access to broader networks, and a louder voice for your business across the region.


And finally, a quick note on VAT

As of today, the 1st of May 2025, we are now VAT registered. Going forward, VAT will be applied to all relevant services and membership fees.
