British Chambers of Commerce's policy work
The British Chambers of Commerce has a high-profile policy and lobbying team that represents the interests of members in Westminster, Whitehall and in Brussels. Working together with the chamber network, the BCC works with decision-makers to influence policy decisions ensuring the interests of businesses are represented. This includes economic policy, influencing the course of new legislation that has an impact on the business community and giving firms a voice in Parliament, the media and with decision makers.
