Welcome to the Greater Birmingham Transatlantic Chamber of Commerce

‘As an American, I was still new to the UK and had just started Truecourse Ltd, when I joined the Birmingham Chamber in 2012. I can say with absolute certainty that a good deal of my success is due to the dedication and enthusiasm of the Birmingham Chamber, its staff and membership. The Chamber not only gave me a warm welcome, but took my business aspirations seriously enough to learn about them and my market and provide a great deal of tailored and highly effective assistance. These days I keep membership in only a limited number of business associations, but the Birmingham Chamber will always be one of them. I count on them to be active, competent and very much a member of my team.’

‘As a professional manager for more than 35 years I believe that I am a fair judge of those working in industry - be it the public or the private sector. Transatlantic Chamber has been exemplary in offering counsel on how to best to access the Midlands business community, authentic leadership from Lauren with supportive ideas on promotion and participation, coupled last but not least with some stellar introductions. Avitus Group who I represent in the UK & Europe are a top tier outsource provider in the USA. Essentially, in the UK a start up like any other and very much the lone ranger ' trail blazer ' yet I have been accorded much respect and kind consideration. ’

‘We joined the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce shortly after we opened our first Birmingham office back in the 1980’s and we subsequently joined the Transatlantic Chamber (formerly BABC) over ten years ago. Of particular value to us have been the various conferences and seminars and the excellent networking events which have been organised by Lauren. These events have led directly to new business and we are grateful to Lauren for her hard work and professionalism and some very interesting introductions, especially those new exporters who needed the assistance of our specialist services. Most notably, we have been able to assist a number of exporters to establish their own presence in the USA via our USA On-Site service, which enables UK exporters to hold stock in our Atlanta facility and trade on equal terms in the USA market. This service runs complementary to our weekly NVOCC groupage (LCL consolidation) and FCL services which provide national coverage throughout the USA. We are therefore delighted to support and recommend the Transatlantic Chamber and its great team of staff!’
