Welcome to Uckfield Chamber of Commerce
Uckfield Chamber of Commerce is an established independent Chamber providing a united stronger business voice for businesses within the town and surrounding villages. The Chamber provides regular opportunities for members to meet and network at various times of the day, acting as a forum to discuss issues that impact trade and commerce both locally and the wider area across the county.
We boast a diverse range of business members including third generation established companies to brand new start-ups. And our executive committee is similarly comprised of a range of professionals and independent business owners. It makes every sense to be part of your local Chamber of Commerce.

A voice for Uckfield businesses
We’re proud to represent organisations of all shapes and sizes from Uckfield and the surrounding area.
Simmons Gainsford have been a member of the Uckfield Chamber of Commerce since we arrived in Uckfield almost 15 years ago. It is a very well run Chamber which is backed up by the number of members that there are. Members meetings are informative and very well attended which is fantastic for the local Uckfield Business Community.

Business Lunch gets Pampered!
The Uckfield Business Lunch series continues to offer a fresh, informal way to connect – and our latest event was no exception.
Held at The Pamper Lounge in Uckfield, this wasn’t your average networking venue…but that’s exactly the point.
A splendid evening for the Chamber at Westminster….
Uckfield Chamber members met in Westminster to enjoy a splendid evening of fine dining coupled with tours of the House of Commons, very kindly hosted by our local MP, Mims Davies.
Networking over Breakfast towards Business Growth…
How do you like your eggs in the morning? ‘Served as part of a Full English at a local pub’, we hear you say! Our breakfast networking events are very nearly always on a Friday as it’s a great way to end the working week, and the penultimate Friday of June was no exception.

Advice and updates from our Chamber members.
Capital Gains Tax Explained: A Guide for Residential Property Sellers
Individuals who are UK resident and dispose of an interest in residential UK property, are required to report this to HMRC within 60 days of completion and settle any liability if there is Capital Gains Tax (CGT) to pay. This is in addition to reporting on an annual self-assessment Tax Return (if the individual is required to file one).
Build a high-performing team
Managing people is one of the toughest, and most important, aspects of leadership. You may know what needs to be done, but how do you inspire others to do it consistently, willingly, and well?
From missed deadlines to unspoken tensions, underperformance erodes your team’s morale, your credibility, and ultimately, your bottom line. But how comfortable and confident are you with having these conversations?
Building a Local Following on Social Media…
When it comes to marketing your business locally, social media can be one of your most powerful, and affordable, tools. But we get it… not everyone wants to splash the cash on paid ads.
Here’s the good news – you don’t have to!
