 THE CHAMBER

Watford and West Herts Chamber of Commerce is an independent non-political organisation whose prime purpose is to act on behalf of the business community. We work to represent members’ views and to support their interests. Our membership is drawn from all kinds of business ranging from manufacturing, processing and distribution to the supply of professional and other services.

In today’s ever changing world with increasing technological development and uncertain economic climate, the Chamber has a vital supportive role to play. It is active in every walk of business life, encouraging relationships between companies, helping to develop market interest in Watford and South West Hertfordshire products and services and representing members’ views to three local authorities, County Council and other public bodies whose decisions can have far reaching effects on the local economy.

Our directors are highly experienced local business men & women who are fully conversant with the many benefits and any problems associated with the area and we represent members' interests when attending meetings and sitting on a variety of committees. The chamber chairs the watford town centre partnership which as the name suggests looks after the area within the ring road in watford. We oversee such matters as the christmas lights and the hanging baskets. We continue to liase closely with the watford council on crime reduction, street cleaning, parking and traffic issues. During the summer we ran an italian market and there will be a french market coming to the town in september. Our aim is to make watford a nicer place to live in. Work and visit. We also sit on the board of one watford which consists of some of the main organisations in the town such as the police and health authorities. We are the voice of business for the area and we will in the autumn be launching the watford sustainability awards which will recognise those who are leading the way to a more sustainable town by promoting economic, environmental and social benefits to the community with their individual or work related achievements. The chamber is also an independent judge for the watford & north west london business awards which celebrate successful local businesses. The awards final took place recently at the grove and we were delighted that there were as usual a number of chamber members amongst the winners. Application forms will be sent out in the autumn for the 2007 awards and we do encourage all chamber members to enter.
