The Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce is a well-established network supporting businesses across Hastings, St Leonards and the surrounding area. It provides a forum for local firms to connect, exchange ideas, and stay informed about economic developments affecting the town. The Chamber works closely with public and private sector partners to ensure that the business voice is heard and helps shape decisions on regeneration, infrastructure, and skills.

Members benefit from regular events, including breakfast briefings, panel discussions, and networking sessions. These gatherings offer valuable opportunities to build relationships, hear from guest speakers, and promote local business activity. The Chamber is also proactive in supporting inward investment and promoting Hastings as a great place to do business.

For businesses operating in the Hastings area, the Chamber is a useful local ally—complementing the broader strategic and funded support available through the Growth Hub. Together, they provide a well-rounded mix of on-the-ground networking and practical business advice.
