About

Who we are

Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce is the voice of business for Hastings, St Leonards and the surrounding area, representing its members to all levels of business, government and to community leaders across the private, statutory, community, voluntary and charitable sectors.

Our overriding aim is to make the voice of business even stronger. We work on behalf of our members, to grow the economy of the town and the wider region in order to create a more supportive environment for businesses to operate in – irrespective of their size, sector or age.
