It’s been here since 1948 so if you are not a Member yet shame on you - does it take you sixty years to make up your mind?! Seriously, come and join us now for we’re on the verge of the most important point in Hayle’s history - probably since Harvey fired up his first Foundry!

Why set up your business in Hayle? Why bother to join the Chamber of Commerce? Because District government has already christened Hayle the Gateway to West Cornwall and, with such enormous potential, you need t o be part of the group to whom people listen!

We are a 'union' of businesses, large and small, from garden shed enterprise to multi-national companies. For many years Hayle has had a micro-economy and, as with the chaos theory, the threat of the flap of the distant butterfly wings causing the storm that will ruin us means that we all need protection in numbers and the voice that it gives us.

In 1948, when Hayle had work for over 2,500 people, we had 150 Member Companies but after the Harbour died we mustered less than thirty. Once again our numbers are getting towards the 80’s with developers, potential Hayle businesses, local/regional government and the media all wanting to know what Hayle Chamber of Commerce thinks!

Ask yourself some fundamental questions - Are you nosey? Do you like to be the first to know things? Do you like to be taken notice of? (yes, yes, bad grammar!) Do you want to listen to speakers who only talk on important topics i.e. the ones that affect you? Do you really want a meeting place with bar and coffee facilities (and a finger buffet?) Do you mind that Meetings are as annoyingly frequent as once a month? Are you sure you want to meet like-minded people, relax and natter and end up doing business without really trying?

I know - I too hate difficult choices!
