We are a strong, privately funded, non-profit-making
organisation continuing, since 1960, in the tradition established
by our predecessor, the British Chamber of Commerce, founded in
Cologne and Hamburg in 1919.
HM British Ambassador to Germany is our
patron.
The Chamber has nine Regional Committees in the United Kingdom and
Germany with a broad membership
base, giving direct access to regional business partners. Through
their about 100 networking events, the regions offer support to
members, interested companies and individuals.
Our membership base consists of about 1100 companies and individuals
in British-German industry, services and trade. Over 11% of these
members have chosen the preferred membership status "Sustaining
Members" with special benefits and services.
BCCG and its large British-German entrepreneural and institutional
network are first port of call for companies and professionals
seeking advice in British-German business and trade. For its services
to members and other interested parties, the chamber actively uses this network. The chambers´
extensive databases of members as well as British firms and affiliates
doing business in Germany are key for these services.
We work closely with UK Trade &
Investment, the British Government Organisation supporting both
companies in the UK trading internationally and overseas enterprises
seeking to locate in the UK. We are a member of the Council of British Chambers of
Commerce in Europe (COBCOE) and are
affiliated to the Association of British Chambers of
Commerce (BCC), and represent the Confederation of
British Industry (CBI) in Germany, thus having access to
these organisations and their members.
