On behalf of the Manchester Parish Council, I once again extend commendation to the Manchester Chamber of Commerce for completing another year of outstanding service to the people of Manchester.

During the 2015/2016 administrative year, a number of new community projects were undertaken by the Chamber. We commend you especially for your association with the Police Motor Vehicle Repair Initiative and your participation in the recent Zika Virus Cleanup Campaign. Your continuing support of the New Hope Children’s Home and the Ebenezer Home is noteworthy. The Chamber continues to recognize individuals, businesses and organizations that have made outstanding contribution at your annual banquet and this event has now become one of the most outstanding occasions on the social calendar of Manchester

This year, as the country focuses on growth, it is very important that we continue to coordinate the efforts of commerce, industry and professions in maintaining and strengthening a sound and healthy business climate in the Parish

As the Chamber approaches the end of another administrative year I must thank the President and the Board of Directors for their hard work. Welcome to the new Executive and best wishes for a successful term in office as they take on the responsibility of leading the Chamber in uniting the voice of the business; promoting entrepreneurship, community development, and economic progress; while striving to identify and serve the needs of its members.
