The Ivybridge Chamber of Trade is a group of assorted business people whose aim is to represent and promote the wide variety of businesses in the Ivybridge area. The Chamber, until recently known as the Ivybridge Business Forum, has had a recent injection of new blood and enthusiasm. What are the benefits of joining?

• Belong to a group of like-minded business people.
• Exchange views and ideas.
• Tap into the experience and expertise of other members.
• Have a say in the running of Ivybridge and its future development.
• Networking - use other local businesses and they will use you.
• Recommend other local businesses to your customers and hopefully, they will reciprocate.
• Social event help build new friendships and business links.

If you run a business in the Ivybridge area, whether you are a plumber, physiotherapist, retailer or you run your own business from home, and would like to join the Chamber, contact any of the committee or download an application form in Adobe Acrobat PDF format (a tiny 8Kb in size). Membership is a tiny £10 per annum.

If you have an e-mail address or fax number and would like to be kept informed of the Chamber's activities, whether you are a member or not, send details to the Chamber Secretary and we'll add you to the mailing list.

The Chamber is currently in a state of temporary dormancy because of a lack of local businesspeople to run the group. If you would like to take up the mantle, please contact the current Chairperson, Karen Rayfield, on 01752 690189.
