About the Chamber
Wadebridge & District Chamber of Commerce aims to inspire, connect and support businesses in Wadebridge and the surrounding area.
We are an independent, not-for-profit organisation that works hard to improve our Wadebridge’s economic prosperity and represents Wadebridge’s business interests on a local and regional level.
After a refresh in spring 2018, much has changed, from the Board members and constitution, to the events and meeting structure.
