Wessex Association of Chambers of Commerce - Membership Benefits
Membership Benefits Wessex Chambers Ribbon
The Association works to promote members’ businesses, products and services, in a number of ways:
Member Privilege Discounts and New Business Opportunities:

Members can benefit directly from corporate discounts that the Wessex Association has been able to negotiate on their behalf. In many cases these are significantly greater than members can obtain individually.

In addition, Members can generate new business by offering discounts off their goods and services exclusively to fellow Chamber members.

To view these exclusive benefits just click here and follow the instructions relevant to the discount or offer that you wish to take up. Please note that proof of membership will be required through the use of your new Members' privilege card.

Publicity & promotion:
Members can promote their businesses by a variety of means:
  • Sponsorship of events.
  • Features in the 'Wessex In Business' publication that appears monthly in The Wiltshire Times and The Gazette & Herald, which is read by over 120,000 readers.

Specialist Advice:

Lobbying and Representation:
