Thank you for the recent business introduction, we have set further meetings to follow on from it so it was great for you to facilitate the original meeting.

It is exactly what we were looking for from the Chamber!

Astron has been part of the Bridgwater Chamber of Commerce for the last 10 years.
Astron’s growth has benefitted from the Chamber’s support and advice to small businesses moving into the area. We have not only done business locally, but we have also made strong friendships with Chamber Staff and other Chamber members along the way.
Chamber networking events have resulted in Astron:
– winning the fire and security contract for the HOST accommodation blocks at the HPC and Sedgemoor accommodation campuses in 2018.
– being appointed as the perimeter CCTV provider at This is Gravity in Puriton in partnership with Securitas since 2019.
We believe that Chamber has become a representative body of industry in the Bridgwater area, giving businesses a robust voice in new developments and organising events to help members develop their businesses.
Astron are pleased to be able continue our sponsorship of the Sedgemoor Business Awards in 2025.

Although we have not yet attended many events, the resources, support, and opportunities available to members of the Chamber is great and an invaluable asset to the local business community.
The Chamber’s commitment to fostering business growth and collaboration is evident, and we are looking forward to engaging more actively in the future.
Being part of this network is an important step for us as we continue to grow and develop, and we are proud to be members of the Bridgwater Chamber of Commerce.

The events have always been well attended, great momentum and an insight into what is happening across the business community and the local area.
The networking events are well organised and a good mix of events and businesses from all industries and sizes. I would certainly recommend the Bridgwater Chamber as a chamber to join if you are in the area.

We have been members of the Chamber for many years and the connections we have made over the years have enabled us to grow the business in and around the area. Our membership has been one of the best affiliations we have made.
Having been the lucky recipients of 3 Sedgemoor Business Excellence awards in the past including Customer Service Excellence twice and enjoying the exposure that this gave us, we felt it would be only right to sponsor the awards and support the great businesses that this area has to offer.

Being a business member of the Bridgwater Chamber of Commerce has been instrumental in the growth and success of Maxwells Chartered Accountants. The Chamber provides invaluable networking opportunities, enabling us to connect with like-minded businesses and build lasting partnerships within the community.
Through my role as Vice Chair and Finance Director, I’ve gained unique insights into the challenges and opportunities facing local businesses, allowing us to tailor our services to meet their needs more effectively. The Chamber’s events, resources, and support have not only elevated our profile but also reinforced our commitment to contributing to Bridgwater’s thriving business ecosystem.

Joining the Bridgwater Chamber of commerce has been one of the best business decisions for us at West Country Drainage Services. We have met some fabulous business owners that we now call friends. It can be a lonely place running your own business but the chamber has great events and with the consistency of meet ups the networking opportunities have been very valuable to us.
The chamber really does care about the community and this was a big plus for us as we share the same ethics. Not only does the chamber provide a support network but the highlight for me is the Sedgemoor Business Awards which are so special and close to our hearts.
I would not hesitate in joining the chamber. It is a friendly welcoming group with a good mixture of businesses that like to help and support each other. I have certainly recommended many of the businesses from the chamber because they are good quality honest and reliable businesses.
The value in becoming a chamber member highly outweighs any costs. The chance to meet other like minded people and to create opportunities within the group is amazing. The team does a wonderful job looking after their members and you never feel forgotten.

We first approached Bridgwater Chamber of Commerce (BCoC) around the turn of the year (2019) in an attempt to enhance our networking and marketing opportunities, considering many of our key clients had reduced funding resource due to the current economic uncertainty. It is since this period that we managed to build a new network of clients, mainly tie 1 contracting organisations who are operating in the significantly infrastructure investments being constructed within Bridgwater and surrounding areas.
We have since secured contracts as a subcontractor to tier 1 firms and increased the number of enquiries and opportunities to tender in this sector or works. In this respect, all of the work and events held by BCoC are therefore imperative in developing our future development and training needs.

Opening a new business is always very difficult thing to do most of all when new to the area. Linking up with the Bridgwater Chamber of Commerce was the best thing that we could have done. They really helped us get in touch with the right people to help move our business in the right direction.

The Chamber of Commerce provides a forum that enables us to reach local businesses and share updates on the Bridgwater Tidal Barrier Scheme. We look forward to continuing to work with the Chamber of Commerce on this important project over the next 5 years.

Through the support of the Bridgwater Supply the Supplier Project and The Bridgwater Chamber I have been able to raise the profile of the counselling, coaching and training services we offer to local business and benefit from the indirect business that the building on our doorstep has to offer. I do feel like this is a supply chain where there is a level playing field.

We have attended a few of your functions now, on this occasion I attended with our Operations Director, and we were both encouraged by the content and positive energy at the event. It’s great to be able to network this way with other local businesses, and we have already seen some encouraging signs of creating new relationships to benefit ourselves and other members of the group.
