Some words from our members

Gordon Robertson, Director of Communications and Sustainability, Edinburgh Airport"The Chamber puts forward the case for business in the Capital with a clear understanding of the benefits that business brings to Edinburgh, as well as the responsibilities business has. From a business like ours to a small agency, the Chamber adds value – not something many can say."

Lindsay Fyfe-Jardine, Chief Executive, Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home“Through the Chamber, I’ve connected with many leaders at networking events and this has opened up the door for lots of exciting partnerships. I can’t speak highly enough of the Chamber team, their dedication and care for Edinburgh businesses is evident and I’m very proud to say I’m an active member of their community.”
