Sherborne Chamber of Trade and Commerce exists to promote its members businesses and the wider business community and town beyond. It has a membership in excess of 120 and welcomes new members to join.

Have you wondered what it is the Chamber actually does, and more importantly if it might possibly be of any benefit to you? You’re not alone, many do. But it’s not a top secret society - in essence we represent YOU, the business community, in and around the Sherborne area, to help your business succeed. Because when Sherborne’s businesses are successful, the town thrives and we all benefit. 

On a wider scale, as a body we lobby the councils on your behalf, and we try to bring improvements to the area that benefit the businesses - and by extension the local community, and the local economy. We literally exist purely to promote our members’ businesses to the town beyond. 

With over 120 members, Sherborne has the largest chamber in Dorset outside of the BCP area, and we’re pro-active throughout the year - involved in just about every event that takes place in Sherborne, supporting the Sherborne community, attracting media interest and making the experience of visitors to the town more memorable.

It’s Sherborne’s Chamber who are driving the progress on CCTV in our main shopping areas, who organise town centre Christmas trees and of course the town’s annual Festive Shopping Day – the busiest day of the year for so many of our traders.

In addition to this, the Chamber offers a lot to members on a personal level. There are free training sessions throughout the year on varying topics, from HR and Employment Law, a certificated first aid course for you and your employees, social media masterclasses through to group sessions with a local Business Coach – and we’re always open to requests for new learning opportunities.
