Business chambers and associations

Tamworth is home to a number of business chambers and networking groups. These organisations provide support, education and networking opportunities for business owners and leaders in our region.

Tamworth Chamber Connect 

Chamber Connect is a sub-committee of the Tamworth Business Chamber, created to support businesses and the wider community by strengthening connections between local businesses.

Designed to encourage meaningful business-to-business (B2B) engagement, Chamber Connect provides opportunities for businesses to connect, collaborate, and trade locally, helping to drive growth, resilience, and long-term prosperity across our region.

A key initiative of Chamber Connect is the professionally delivered Business After 5 networking series, held on the last Wednesday of each month. This series provides a consistent and welcoming platform for local businesses to build relationships, share insights, and explore collaboration opportunities in a relaxed, after-hours setting.
