Representatives of the Retail Sub-Committee had a very positive meeting with The Public Services Department on 21st June to discuss issues of waste packaging and encourage recycling initiatives to reduce landfill. A further meeting is being held with the Recycling Advisory Forum on 25th July to reply to specific questions on waste from the Retail sector.
Chamber’s Annual Business Directory is in the final stages of preparation and should be published and circulated during July. Any delay in publication has been due to delays in preparing all the information at the Chamber office.
Chamber provides a range of export services for its members with links and contacts to many other Chambers. Guernsey Chamber is affiliated to the British Chambers of Commerce and is authorised to authenticate European Certificates of Origin on behalf of the DTI. In addition we are able to arrange certification and legalisation of documents at foreign embassies. Members of Chamber receive a significant discount on the standard charges.
