Lanarkshire Chamber of Commerce was formed in 2003 following a merger of more localised Chambers and Business Groups in Clyde Vale, East Kilbride, Hamilton and Clydesdale, Motherwell & District and Cambuslang and Rutherglen. We have developed into the premier independent business support organisation in Lanarkshire, providing a wide range of services specifically designed to help our members grow and prosper whilst continuing to lobby Scottish Enterprise Lanarkshire, North and South Lanarkshire Councils and other public bodies on the issues that impact on local businesses.
