Uckfield Chamber of Commerce

It’s great to be back meeting ‘in person’ with events now planned for every month during 2022. Our next members’ evening meeting is on Thursday 15 September, where we’ll be back at Uckfield College for a first time visit to the new building. But before then, we have another networking breakfast on Friday 19 August at the brilliant Picture House restaurant, where our speaker will be from Uckfield Foodbank! There’s a real local crisis for some families; how can your business help out?

That said, we do understand that meeting ‘in person’ isn’t for everyone and we will continue with a monthly online meeting on the first Wednesday each month for an hour between 8.00-9.00am. The next of our online early morning meetings is on Wednesday 7 September, followed by 5 October.

You’ll know by now that this year, 2022, also sees the return of the Uckfield Business Awards which will be held on Thursday 29 September. We have had a fabulous response to the entry & nomination process and our category sponsors have now chosen their short-listed finalists. Entrants will be advised in early August, whether they’ve been successful with their entries and tickets for the Awards evening will be on general sale later in August too.

Full event details of all our upcoming meetings can be found on the ‘Read more’ button below.

There is no doubt that we are fortunate to have such a great high street here in Uckfield, with very few empty units compared to similar towns. Not only that but there is an array of retail units too on the main Bellbrook industrial estate.

Please do continue to support your local independent stores and restaurants, together with places like our cinema. We are proud of our local high street full of fabulous independent stores, so it makes every sense to ‘support local’.

We will continue to work closely with both Uckfield town council and Wealden district council on various initiatives to support our high street and wider business area ensuring that government led funding support is directed to where it is needed most.

Here at Uckfield Chamber, we are proud to boast a strong membership of 200 local businesses; please check out our business directory where you’re sure to find a local solution to any business need. Indeed, our 2022 printed membership directory is available from the Civic Centre or please get in touch if you’d like a copy posted to you.

If you own or manage an Uckfield business and are not a member, well done for being here on our site! Please do get in touch and we’d be pleased to discuss the wide range of member benefits.
