Welcome to Uckfield Chamber of Commerce
Uckfield Chamber of Commerce is an established independent Chamber providing a united stronger business voice for businesses within the town and surrounding villages. The Chamber provides regular opportunities for members to meet and network at various times of the day, acting as a forum to discuss issues that impact trade and commerce both locally and the wider area across the county.
We boast a diverse range of business members including third generation established companies to brand new start-ups. And our executive committee is similarly comprised of a range of professionals and independent business owners. It makes every sense to be part of your local Chamber of Commerce.

Simmons Gainsford have been a member of the Uckfield Chamber of Commerce since we arrived in Uckfield almost 15 years ago. It is a very well run Chamber which is backed up by the number of members that there are. Members meetings are informative and very well attended which is fantastic for the local Uckfield Business Community.

Breakfast at a brand-new venue
Our breakfasts are a regular fixture in the Chamber calendar, taking place every other month at venues around Uckfield. They’re open to both Chamber members and non-members, giving local businesses the chance to make new connections, share what they do and hear from other businesses and organisations in the local community.
A networking event fit for royalty
This mid-summer Uckfield Chamber members’ meeting was held at the beautiful Horsted Place Hotel.
With glorious weather on our side, it was the perfect evening for a spot of al fresco networking on the croquet lawn.
The heat was on…and so was the networking
The thought of getting dressed for networking on a ferociously hot Thursday morning might have been enough to put some people off.
Fortunately, the Uckfield Chamber of Commerce networking breakfast at Kings Church came with one very welcome bonus – air conditioning.
Member news
Advice and updates from our Chamber members.
UK Workplace Harassment Reforms Explained
From October 2026, UK employers will face stronger legal duties to prevent workplace harassment. Expectations around policies, training, reporting procedures and workplace culture will increase, with a greater focus on prevention rather than simply responding to complaints after the event.
Is your business measuring driver safety effectively?
For many businesses, checking that employees hold a valid driving licence is simply part of the routine. But a licence only tells you that someone is legally entitled to drive. It doesn’t tell you whether they’re actually a safe driver.
Exciting updates from Beacon Down!
Beacon Down vineyard in Cross in Hand, which already runs tour and wine tasting experiences alongside picnic lunches, is this month opening the doors to a new café and shop. The new shop / café will be open six days a week (Tuesday-Sunday) and will showcase the award-winning wines of Beacon Down.

Ten years in business feels like a milestone worth celebrating, but it also prompts a certain amount of reflection.
When Morton Waters started in business, they had the same optimism most new businesses have. They were confident in their expertise and excited by the opportunities ahead.
