Harrogate District Chamber of Commerce
“Harrogate benefits from a variety of core organisations, all of whom are passionate about promoting, improving and developing Harrogate”
“Harrogate District Chamber of Commerce has been the voice of Harrogate business for more than 125 years. The Chamber is fortunate to enjoy an immensely proactive and supportive relationship from our local council and councillors, which has grown and developed over the years.
“Additionally, and perhaps exceptionally, Harrogate benefits from a variety of core organisations, all of whom are passionate about promoting, improving and developing Harrogate. These include Harrogate BID, Harrogate International Festivals, local radio and media organisations, and Harrogate Civic Society to name a few.
“What has become evident since becoming President, is that a strong collaboration for the benefit of Harrogate, its residents and businesses alike, thankfully exists. As an independent retailer in Harrogate for more than 22 years, this is encouraging and reassuring from a local business perspective.”
