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 1886. 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.
Increase your public exposure If you are looking to expand your business and develop your professional network, then the Spanish Chamber of Commerce is the right place to start. This will allow you to raise your business profile and increase your visibility. Your company s details will be published on our website under the section Member Directory, which is consulted daily by other companies and individuals alike. Access to specialised knowledge Via the seminars and events on a variety of topics organised in collaboration with our member companies throughout the year, you will have access to a network of expertise and will be up to date with good business practices in both countries. Specialists in law, finance, human resources, management, and web technologies among others present regular seminars to provide helpful information on their subject area. Reasons to become a member
Reasons to become a member Special offers for members Aside from receiving discounts on our services and publications, our Member to Member (M2M) section allows members to offer discounts on their services and products and take advantage of those published by other members of our institution. Network, network, network! With an average of 4 events per month, you will have the opportunity to increase your company exposure and interact with like-minded individuals representing a wide range of business sectors. Rather than investing in traditional marketing, save money by focusing on B to B networking that will allow you to nurture long lasting relationships with potential clients and business partners. Whether you are a small or big company, starting your business or already looking to explore new markets, our events are arranged in several formats to ensure everyone will find one that best meets their needs. For further information about our events, please visit the section Upcoming Events within our website Events menu.
