About Us
An independent chamber, run for and by its members.
BritCham is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental organisation fully supported by and operated for its members. With thirty years of experience in Latvia, BritCham fosters and advances opportunities in the business environment as well as supports trade and investment between Latvia and Great Britain.
BritCham is a member of the British Chambers of Commerce (uniting over 50 UK and 75 international chambers) and is a founding member of the Foreign Investors' Council in Latvia (FICIL). As such, BritCham provides its members with valuable opportunities to broaden the scope of their networking and cooperation potential.

What we stand for.
Integrity
We operate with integrity, transparency and accountability with consideration for both Latvian and British work ethics and regulations.
Respect
We always treat people and businesses the way we would like to be treated and with respect. We are a non-political organisation and as such do not promote or advocate any individual Latvian or UK political party nor expect our Members to do so at BritCham meetings.
Trust
We believe in each other and what we are working to achieve together.
The Board
Led by our members.
The Board consists of eight elected Board Members, one ex-officio Board Member (who is nominated by the British Ambassador) and the Executive Director who is also ex-officio. Every year elections for Board vacancies are held at the Annual General Meeting.
