The Auckland Business Chamber (known as the Auckland Chamber of Commerce until 2018[3][4]), is a New Zealand business network representing the interests of businesses in the Auckland region. It is a non-governmental organisation.
History
[edit | edit source]The Chamber was founded in 1856, at a meeting of merchants on 24 January,[5] during a period of economic depression. Active in the 1860s, the Chamber floundered somewhat before an 1869 reorganisation that opened its ranks to a wider variety of merchants, on an annual subscription basis.[5]
Following its inception it focused on issues ranging from remedying trade abuses and obtaining adequate facilities for businesses, to standardization of grain weights and simplifying the customs tariff.[6]
Michael Barnett was the chief executive and spokesperson for the Chamber from 1991 until 2022.[7][8]
Activities and services
[edit | edit source]The Chamber provides support to businesses, hosts events and training courses, and publishes business-related information. It advocates to government on behalf of its members.
