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.

Sir Michael Arthur KCMG, 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.
