The Portuguese Chamber of Commerce in the UK is a major facilitator in the bilateral trade and commerce conducted between the two countries. Founded in 1979, over the years the Chamber has developed close working relationships with all the principal Portuguese and UK government departments, as well as with the leading official and private bodies, allowing us insight into and access to specialist knowledge about the UK- Portuguese market.

We offer a wide range of support services to members who are starting or developing business between the UK and Portugal, allowing them to take advantage of our experience and knowledge in several key sectors, among them banking and finance, IT and web services, the medical sector, property and construction, tourism and travel, freight and transport, legal and professional services, and publicity and public relations.
