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.

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.

Pots of Love (Uckfield) Ltd
Running a small business isn’t always glamorous, and it certainly isn’t linear. It’s personal, unpredictable, and often challenging but it’s also deeply rewarding. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made since 2022, grateful for the support of our local community, and excited about what the next chapter may hold.
Wealden Citizens Advice
At Citizens Advice, providing advice isn’t just about paperwork or procedures — it’s about helping people gain clarity, confidence, and a sense of control. That might mean helping someone manage debt, access the benefits they’re entitled to, resolve a housing issue, or simply understand their options when life throws them a curveball.
