Moray Chamber of Commerce
We represent, connect and support our local businesses to enable them to thrive and grow.
Chambers of Commerce are in most regions, all over the world. They all come together for the collective good of the business community but are individually owned and ran in the regions they operate. They are governed by a Board of Directors, made up from representatives of the business community. Chambers perform several functions for their members. The Chamber gathers a collective business view with a view to influencing decision making that will affect that local business community. They’re networking forums – business clubs – facilitating the making of contacts and the sharing of knowledge and experience. They provide services for members such as training, mentor matching, events, learning opportunities and business support. Members can offer discounted professional services to fellow members.
The core purpose of Moray Chamber is to represent, connect and support our local businesses to enable them to thrive and grow. It is the voice of business in region, regularly engaging with ministers, governments and stakeholders to ensure that the Moray business voice is heard. We remain focused on making sure we continue to be ‘in the know’ regarding national and local business issues, so that we can champion Moray Speyside’s interests, lobby local and national government on relevant issues, and continue in the footsteps of the founding members.
Moray Chamber is the ‘go to’ networking organisation in Moray Speyside, by proactively connecting and supporting businesses across the region regardless of size, location, sector and gender.
