About Us
Our Company
Who We Are
We are the longest serving, independent Chamber. We have been serving businesses and Southall since 2015. Just like our country, we have always been internationally focused in the interests of a vibrant economy necessary for our collective survival. Hence the word “international” in our name. It follows that we are also an inclusive eco-system of member companies which represent the diversity of the Southall business community. We stand for free and fair trade, integrated multiculturalism, multilateralism, an open economy and responsible business.
Who are wlbcci Members?
Our diverse membership represents all sectors of the economy. 50% of member companies are West London owned and 50% are internationally owned. Half of the Chamber’s members are large organizations including many multinationals and the other half comprises medium, small and start-up companies.
What’s the wlbcci advantage?
We know West London better than most. The Chamber and its members have been helping businesses and England since 2015. That is why we are best placed to help you navigate our country whether you are a business already established here or planning to invest. Wlbcci has built a reputation as a consistently, credible advocate for business interests and for West London to policymakers and investors alike. We are International both in our focus and membership. We know the Singapore economy needs local and global businesses and talent to survive and thrive. That was true in 2015 and remains true today. That is why we integrate and include. We never seek to divide and exclude. Consequently, the Chamber provides one of the very best platforms anywhere for meaningful B2B engagement. Just like in our logo, we keep the doors to business open for you. Commerce is what we are about but it must be responsible commerce. Responsible in how company teams are managed, led and developed. Responsible in how companies give back to the community in which they live and work. Responsible in how companies respond to the transition to the green economy to achieve personal, commercial and societal sustainability.
How does wlbcci create value for its members?
Wlbcci serves its members in multiple ways always driven by what members need. We connect members to the people they need and want to meet in the private and public sectors. We provide members with a platform to network, share expertise and knowledge. The same platform allows members to build and enhance their personal and commercial brands. We collaborate with our members and partners to create value not just for them but for the wider business community too. We provide topical, business-relevant content via professionally delivered events.
Finally, because we are focussed on the power of collaboration to spur innovation, the annual Wlbcci Awards for Collaborative Innovation are the most relevant business awards today. Not only do they celebrate and recognize successful commercial collaborations which drive business innovation, they facilitate community learning through our annual TV programme with each year’s winners and encourage emulation.
