About Us

On behalf of our members we:

encourage private and social enterprise and advance the interests of commerce in East Renfrewshire
provide guidance in all aspects of business affairs in the community
promote co-operation with civic authorities such as East Renfrewshire Council
provide a forum for the exchange of information of mutual interest

Our members are drawn from all corners of East Renfrewshire and beyond: businesses big and small, from the private, public and not for profit sectors, reflecting the diverse nature of business here. We have a high number of micro businesses and home workers in the area, and the membership of our Board reflects this business demographic as far as possible.

We have made a policy decision to keep our membership fees as low as possible and, as such, we are not affiliated to Scottish Chambers of Commerce. This would have made our fees prohibitive and in line with the larger chambers.

Our vision is to be the best small chamber in Scotland.

The Board of Directors is elected from our membership, and the current Board consists of:
