A brand-new, flexible membership scheme which is designed to fit the specific needs of your business! You can now access the essential "Chamber Membership" services for just £250+VAT, including 12 spaces at our networking/netwalking events.

Further benefits can then be acquired on top of this with the purchase of additional bundles, including: the Support Bundle; Promotion Bundle and International Bundle. Each bundle is specifically designed to provide key support for your business. Further details are provided below about what is included in each of these bundles.

In response to member feedback over recent years, we wanted to evolve our membership package to provide further flexibility and choice over what services your company wants (and needs). By redesigning our membership scheme, we are now offering the option to select some (or all) of our support services which are deemed essential to your organisation – giving you full control over what you consider to be important. This format offers better value for money and provides further transparency in which services you are acquiring through your chosen membership.

Our objective remains the same, to continue supporting, connecting and representing the business community as we have done for over 150 years. It’s in our best interest to provide flexibility, to help businesses like yours save time, money and stress. We want to help nurture your growth and be pioneers in the way that we offer our support services. We are in fact the very first Chamber to introduce this new membership scheme and hope that through tailored support and enhanced engagement, we can potentially expand our business community to bring further networking opportunities and a greater representation of our region.

All businesses will need to acquire core Chamber Membership package before upgrading to include any further benefit bundles, as detailed below. Build the membership that works for you with enhanced flexibility, designed to suit the needs of your business.

Additional bundles include:

• Support Bundle (£250+VAT)
• Promotion Bundle (£250+VAT)
• International Bundle (£500+VAT)

These can all be added onto your "Chamber Membership" package, to gain access to further tools and services from the West & North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce. Core Chamber Membership is available for £250+VAT (12-month contract).

Offering further membership benefits, the Support Bundle comes with an upgraded range of tools/services compared to the perks of standard Chamber Membership. This includes:

• Finance Finder to match funding sources with your needs

• VAT & Tax Advice Line

If you’re an existing member of the West & North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, you won’t need to take any further action until the point of renewal. Your company will continue to receive all the benefits (as initially purchased) in your twelve-month agreement. In other words, Choice Based Membership won’t take full effect until you come to renew your membership, although there may still be some additional benefits that you can access in the meantime.

Our team have been working hard to decide what a provisional package might look like for your business at the point of renewal. Through analysing historical data and the benefits that you have previously utilised over the past twelve-months, we have provisionally placed each company into a certain bracket, which we feel matches the needs of your business. At the point of renewal, you will be given notice about what this package looks like, to then decide whether you’d like to amend it in any way.

Bundles can be added onto your yearly membership at any point throughout the year, however, they can not be retracted from your membership once you have acquired them – at least not until you come to renew at the end of the twelve months.

For any questions or queries related to Choice Based Membership, you can contact our team now on 0113 247 00 00 or email info@wnychamber.co.uk.

From 1 August 2025, Choice Based Membership will be available to all businesses when initially signing up. Take full advantage of the flexible new framework by deciding which bundle(s) you would like to acquire on top of your core Chamber Membership. Our team will be happy to discuss potential membership with you further and talk over some of the services that you can access.

Get in touch with our membership team now to become part of the business community. Call 0113 247 00 00 or email info@wnychamber.co.uk.

Further details about membership can be found on our website.

Members can upgrade their package at any time throughout the year, to gain additional support from the Chamber through the purchase of our bundles. Downgrading your membership, however, is not possible until the point of renewal. This includes any bundles which have previously been purchased. You will be given the option to amend your package at the point of renewal, including adding/removing bundles to fit with the needs of your company.

By signing up to our membership, you agree to a fixed 12-month contract. Cancellation within this term is not permitted, and any outstanding fees that remain at the end of your membership will be due immediately when requested by our accounts team, regardless of whether your company has remained active or not in utilising our services.

For any questions or queries, please contact our accounts team: 0113 247 0000 or email accounts@wnychamber.co.uk.
