About
the BPCC
With
over 460 members, the British-Portuguese Chamber of Commerce,
founded in 1911, is an independent, non-profit organisation
that sets out to promote the interests of its membership in
respect to commercial links between businesses in the
United Kingdom
and Portugal. This is achieved mainly
through a programme of networking events and by making
available a number of very useful business services.
The
British-Portuguese Chamber of Commerce is a totally
independent organisation, financed solely by the subscriptions
of our members and through profits arising from Chamber events
and the services we provide.
The
BPCC work with, but not on behalf of, any Government organisation,
and is specifically prohibited from any party political
activity by its statutes. Any company, whether operating in or
from the
UK
or Portugal, is eligible to apply for membership of the Chamber.
By
joining the Chamber, a company can benefit not only from
discounts on a number of services, but also from joining a
network of companies interested in British-Portuguese
commerce, with all the communications and opportunities this
implies.
The
British-Portuguese Chamber of Commerce is run by an extremely
competent and friendly professional staff from offices in
Lisbon, with local representatives in the North of the
country as well as in the Algarve.
The
overall supervision of the Chamber's activities is the
responsibility of the Board of Directors, which is made up
from professionals working in Portugal, but who contribute their time to the Chamber on a voluntary
basis.
It
is strongly
recommended all companies to make the BPCC a vital part
of their business development programme.
