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.

A voice for Uckfield businesses
We’re proud to represent organisations of all shapes and sizes from Uckfield and the surrounding area.
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.

News from the Uckfield Business Awards…

Vines, views and valuable connections

Could better driver training help reduce road risk in your business?

Yet every one of those journeys carries risk – not just for the driver, but for the business too.
The Director Who Couldn’t Switch Off…
In today’s always-connected business world, many leaders pride themselves on being constantly available. Emails, messages and notifications have become part of everyday life, and being busy is often worn as a badge of honour.
