Lancaster Chamber relocates to college hub

The Lancaster and District Chamber of Commerce is moving to a temporary location while work on its future home is completed.

From July, the chamber will be based on the third floor at the Employer Hub at Lancaster and Morecambe College.

The chamber had operated out of White Lund Industrial Estate for nine years and before that was based in Lancaster's city centre.

The long-term aim is to move to the new St John’s development in Lancaster, but work is expected to take approximately three years.

Jon Powell, President of Lancaster & District Chamber of Commerce, said: “The Chamber are delighted to be making the Employer Hub at Lancaster and Morecambe College our new base.

"We work very closely with the college and this move will only cement our close relationship and shared goal to support local businesses and local talent. 

"The move now to Lancaster and Morecambe College is a perfect stepping stone to better enable collaborative and partnership working, for the Chamber to be an integral member of a shared space and community supporting growth and economic prosperity in our district.”

Charlotte Rawes, vice principal progress and performance, Lancaster & Morecambe College added: "This collaboration will further enhance the support
provided to employers across the district, placing the Employer Hub @LMC at the heart of our business community.

"This innovative approach, linking the College directly to local businesses, will support the college's commitment to providing aspirational careers advice and guidance to all of our learners. We look forward to welcoming the whole Chamber team to their new home this summer."
