Committees are run by BLCC members and form an essential part of our Chamber. By participating in the Committees, members have the opportunity to meet fellow industry experts and those interested. They share experiences, insights & opinions, cover pressing topics in the relevant field and share their findings with the community.
Committees will organise events, share publications and are the ones to give valuable input to authorities on the given domains when asked.
