Networking that leads to real conversations

The Chamber meets regularly through local networking sessions where business owners can discuss key issues affecting the area. These meetings are friendly, informative and designed to help members understand what is happening on the ground. Guest speakers often join to share insight or updates, and the Chamber maintains strong working links with organisations such as Wealden District Council, Hailsham Town Council, Hailsham Community Safety Action Group, Hailsham Forward and the Hailsham Town Council Youth Project. This creates a reliable flow of information so members stay well connected to wider developments.

Driving progress through the Business Improvement District

A major focus for the Chamber is the development of the Hailsham and District Business Improvement District scheme. The aim is to help businesses in the BID area transition to zero-carbon operations, adopt environmentally aware practices and remain fully compliant with evolving standards. Alongside the environmental benefits, the BID is designed to improve day-to-day efficiency, reduce costs and support long-term profitability. It is a forward-thinking project that reflects the town’s ambition to grow sustainably.
