Standing at the heart of the Halifax, Huddersfield and Wakefield business communities, our mission is to drive growth among businesses of all sizes across the districts, by providing relevant and valuable support and benefits.
We pride ourselves on representing three districts as one Chamber – your Chamber.
Serving the communities for 170 years, we recognise the need for localised representation, a community voice and support tailored to each district.
Our knowledge of the opportunities and challenges of now and the future, have allowed us to develop three sub divisions to better represent our members locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.
The Mid Yorkshire Chamber now parents The Halifax & District Chamber of Commerce, The Huddersfield & District Chamber of Commerce and The Wakefield & District Chamber of Commerce.
Each sub division provides members with additional representation and offers a more localised approach to business support.
What we stand for
We believe that all businesses should have strong representation, a voice within their community and be given the opportunity to thrive in a tough economic environment.
We understand the challenges of running a business and want to support those who need it the most.
We aren’t immune to the difficulties which is why we use our experience and connections to give you support that’s relevant as well as allowing you to voice any regional and national issues that may affect your business.
How we support local businesses
