Our Team
The Canterbury Employers' Chamber of Commerce is a membership-driven, not-for-profit business service organisation with over 3,000 members. Our primary role is to assist members' enterprises to be as successful as possible, with the ultimate objective of ensuring that Canterbury becomes the most desired place in New Zealand in which to do business.
We are the largest business support agency in the South Island and we support business in its wider sense, including the employers of labour, self-employed, not-for-profit organisations and those who are generally supportive of the objectives of the organisation. We also provide support for other business support agencies throughout the South Island.
In short, the Employers' Chamber exists for three broad reasons:
- To enhance individual business capability - through our day-to-day service provision, training and development and events programmes, and our advisory role.
- To ensure our members can operate in a business friendly environment - through direct and indirect lobbying of local and central Government on issues that impact on the business community, and by working closely with external agencies that influence the business environment.
- To drive new levels of business activity - through our involvement with the Champion Canterbury Awards, our support of industry clusters and business enhancement programmes, and through facilitating research and development funding applications.
