Kampala: The British Chamber of Commerce Uganda (BCCU) is proud to celebrate its first anniversary, marking a year of dynamic growth, meaningful partnerships, and a shared commitment to unlocking Uganda’s immense potential.
Founded to strengthen trade and investment ties between Uganda and the United Kingdom, the BCCU has quickly become a vibrant platform for business collaboration, innovation, and opportunity. Led by Ugandans, connected globally, and committed to making a difference in Uganda, the Chamber is shaping a future where business drives inclusive development.
Over the past year, BCCU has hosted high-level networking events such as events on the tax event in partnership with EY, imports and exports to the UK, and UK Visa and Immigration event and provided a trusted space for dialogue between business and government. With Uganda’s youthful population and entrepreneurial spirit, the Chamber believes the country is poised for transformative growth.
H.E. Lisa Chesney MBE, honorary President of the BCCU and British High Commissioner to Uganda said “We are part of a global movement that means business. And my government is pushing all of us to be engines of growth – not just in the UK but here in Uganda too. Growth requires partnership. Partnership between government and business, between nations and networks. The UK is committed to economic renewal, technological innovation, and global collaboration. The British High Commission’s work to support mutual growth and prosperity, and our support for the Chamber will not stop.”
“Our members are helping build the jobs of the future for Uganda’s young population. This anniversary is not just a celebration of what we’ve achieved—it’s a call to action for more businesses to join us, benefit from our network, and be part of this exciting journey.” added Sanjay Rughani, Board Chair of BCCU.
Rughani stated “Uganda’s potential is immense—and together, we can unlock it. We invite businesses of all sizes and sectors to become part of the BCCU community and help shape the next chapter of Uganda’s economic story.”
As the Chamber looks to the next few years, it remains focused on expanding its membership, deepening UK-Uganda business ties, and championing sustainable, inclusive economic development.
