Welcome to the Taunton Chamber Website.

Taunton Chamber of Commerce represents a broad spectrum of over two hundred businesses from sole proprietors to Plc ventures.

I am very proud to Chair the Chamber’s Executive Committee, which comprises a devoted non political coherent team from a diverse and range of professions. Around the table is a host of skills including, Accountancy, Property Professionals, Leisure & Tourism, Legal, Education, Careers & Training, Marketing and Retailing, Disability, Transport and importantly representatives/Officers from our Local Authority, Taunton Deane Borough Council.

The Committee meets monthly on the first Tuesday at our home, the Brewhouse Theatre and we are also extremely fortunate to have input and support from our Town Centre Manager, Lucy Ball
Our Organisation strives to represent you on all matters that impact on the local business community. We participate in debate, lobbying and generally making sure that the local and regional Business Community’s wishes and concerns are heard and acknowledged at the highest level.

The Chambers opinions are also heard in many other of Taunton and regional organisations including Taunton Town Centre Partnership/Taunton Town Centre Company, Taunton Economic Partnership, Bank of England Business Panel, Valuation Office Agency Local Ratepayer Forum, Technology Industrial Liaison Committee to name but a few.

We are delighted to have an affiliation with the members of Somerset Chamber of Commerce, Wellington Chamber of Commerce and Bristol Chamber.

You will, no doubt, be aware of the exciting ‘Taunton Vision’ which outlines thrilling and ambitious plans proposed for the future regeneration and expansion of Taunton. The Chamber has been greatly involved in the consultation resulting in the drafting of an extensive and detailed master plan for the town which has been now been adopted by Somerset County Council, Taunton Deane Borough Council, The South West Regional Development Agency and the Environment Agency.

It is evident that Taunton is on the threshold of a very significant change in its role and status in the South West that will benefit businesses, residents and visitors alike.
