2 Who we are The Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Great Britain is an institution whose main function is to promote business relations between Spanish and British companies. Under this principle, we provide both member and non-member companies with a wide range of services, including information and support, promotional activities and networking events among others. Whether it is a start-up company or a branch of a well known-multinational company, we always put the same effort into offering our expertise and advice, and strive to find tailor-made solutions for the specific needs each company may have when first approaching us. Our ability to adjust to different business realities and enthusiasm has allowed us to significantly grow as an institution since our establishment in Not only have our members increased in number over these 125 years, but also the services we offer and the activities we carry out year after year. We aim to increase these achievements by attracting as many companies as possible in order to help them grow and expand. We are positive you will find our institution a great means of introducing your services and products to the British or Spanish markets.
