Significant events
- “The Chamber's most significant internal investment during the year was the implementation of a new customer relationship management system, Ready Membership. Phase 1 went live in January 2025, enhancing the customer journey and enabling members to access services such as event booking and member-to-member engagement more easily.”
- “Despite ongoing challenges such as international conflicts and tariff changes, the Chamber has strengthened its International Trade support, increasing activity by 67% and helping more than 500 businesses navigate customs processes and deliver goods worth over £60 million worldwide.”
- “The Chamber delivered 338 events during the year, an increase of 37% on the prior period, attracting 6,308 attendees.”
- “For the financial year ended 31 March 2025, total income increased by £139,711 (6%), rising from £2.34 million in 2023/24 to £2.48 million.”
- “The Chamber therefore achieved an operating surplus of £11,608, compared with a deficit of £254,159 in the prior year - a swing of over £265,000.”
- “The Balance Sheet remains strong. Net assets increased to £3.15 million (2024: £3.12 million), supported by robust cash holdings of £1.54 million and tangible fixed assets of £1.30 million, following investment in technology and property improvements.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
