Chamber Viewpoint
As the Independent Voice of Local Business, the Southampton and Fareham Chamber of Commerce and Industry expresses the views of its members and represents them on local, regional and national issues that could affect their business.

We are working for you formally and informally throughout all our activities by listening to all sizes and types of business, understanding your concerns and aspirations and then pushing them forward on to the agendas of local, regional and national decision makers to effect positive change. This work is enhanced by the Chamber's high profile, credibility and coverage of South Hampshire, which has led to it being the only Chamber of Commerce invited by the Panel to the Examination of the South East Plan - a plan to encourage economic growth in the South East region over the next twenty years.
Our member businesses operate in an area covered by six different local authorities, which stretches from Fareham and Hamble in the east, through Southampton and Eastleigh, west to Hythe, Dibden and the New Forest. Our members’ views are central to the Chamber's thinking on the many local, regional and national planning or government policy initiatives on which we are asked for formal comment as a business representative organisation. The expertise and wide knowledge of specialist topics provided by the volunteer Chamber members on the committees are of great help in formulating the Chamber Viewpoint which is published monthly in the centre pages of our magazine and on our web site.
