Since the African and Carribbean Chamber of Commerce and Enterprise (ACCCE) launched last July we have seen a steady growth in membership and developed a compelling programme of networking events and workshops designed to help members get the best from their business.

The Chamber has spearheaded some exciting initiatives that will be of great interest and benefit to our members. These include: GWE Business West and other Chambers of Commerce in the West of England, Business Link, Bristol China Partnership , UKTI, SFEDI

Given the opportunities mentioned above and the current economic climate, there could not be a better time to join the Chamber.  Membership of ACCCE enables you to connect with other like-minded entrepreneurs, showcase your business, share information and access a programme of quality networking events and skills workshops that are exclusive to members.

The ACCCE Board of Directors have a wealth of experience from a wide range of business backgrounds and understand the diverse needs and challenges that all businesses are currently facing.  These men and women are dedicated to meeting the needs of our unique business community and serving the Chamber members.

ACCCE is working closely with GWE Business West and other Chambers of Commerce in the West of England to offer a range of additional benefits at no extra cost to add value to your membership and increase business opportunities.  We are also establishing partnerships with public sector organisations/agencies, private companies our colleges and Universities.

At he official launch of the chamber over 50 businesses joined on the day.  Since then our membership has increased steadily and continues to grow. 
Chamber members are from a wide range of sectors including: law; retail; accountancy; manufacturing; entertainment; marketing; ICT; journalism; public relations and design amongst others.

We are confident that as the Chamber grows, our members will have a positive effect on the economic recovery and development of the region and through our Youth Chamber, African and Caribbean Young Enterprise, (ACYE) we intend to inspire and influence tomorrow’s entrepreneurs.

Leading by example!
