Membership of the Bridport & West Bay Business Chamber community brings many benefits, not least the chance to informally network with other local businesses at our meetings and events. Given the work we carry out highlighting and responding to local developments relevant to commercial success – parking, pedestrianisation, funding opportunities, public transport to name a few – we also encourage members and prospective members to consider the valuable contribution they themselves can bring to the Chamber. Our strength lies in being able to represent a cross section of the business community, and we value opinion from all sectors and size of company.
