The West and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce has been confirmed as one of the leading Chambers in the UK at the association’s annual ceremony in London.
With 52 accredited British Chambers of Commerce in the UK and a further 80 across the world, the West and North Yorkshire Chamber is within the top five for innovation, breadth of services, business support, membership retention, partnerships, digital marketing events and international services.
James Mason, Chief Exec of the Chamber said: “It’s wonderful to be recognised in this way and I’d like to place on record our thanks to all the Chamber team, our Board and members for their hard work over the last 12 months.
“They deserve the recognition that comes with this accolade and should be rightly proud. It is an honour to represent our part of the world regionally, nationally and globally.
“The businesses we work on behalf of are the real winners. Onwards and upwards.”
West & North Yorkshire Chamber received the award after being shortlisted alongside Chambers representing employers in Wirral, Herefordshire and Worcestershire and Suffolk and eventual winners Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce.
The nomination included details about West & North Yorkshire Chamber’s hugely successful trade mission to New York City in May, which shone a spotlight on the volume and quality of business connections between Yorkshire and the United States and led to some very successful transactions and connections being formed between the two regions.
