Your Gateway to Global Growth
At the West & North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, our mission is to open doors for regional businesses in the world’s most dynamic markets. We design and lead international trade missions to remove the barriers of entry into complex overseas economies, giving our members a distinct competitive advantage.
By partnering with strategic entities like the British Chambers of Commerce and through the support of our Chamber International team, we handle the complex logistics, security, and high-level networking so you can focus entirely on growth.
Every trade mission that we organise is driven by direct feedback from our members and rigorous economic analysis. Our planning is structured around members advising us which markets they would like to access across the globe.

Join the Chamber in Ireland – September 2026
The West & North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce and Chamber International will be leading a delegation to Ireland (Drogheda & Dublin) in September 2026, with the aim of developing new business opportunities and forging key connections with companies and officials based there.
With a track record for delivering and participating in high-quality and impactful trade missions, such as those to the USA, United Arab Emirates, and most recently China and Hong Kong, this self-funded trade mission could be your platform to enhance and develop business links in Ireland.
Our role as a Chamber is to build new and enrich existing trade partnerships by hosting events, including but not limited to networking, roundtable discussions, economic forums, and introductions to targeted businesses and individuals in order to provide growth opportunities.
