What is the Chamber of Trade?
Burford Chamber of Trade is a voluntary organisation representing business and professional interest within and around Burford. It is run by its members for its members and was founded in 1967,
“with the object to create a spirit of goodwill and friendship amongst the trading and commercial interests with benefits to the said area.”
Despite the small size of Burford, the Chamber has managed to contribute a considerable amount to the business welfare of the Town, as well as allowing members to meet occasionally for social events.

About the chamber logo
|
Members of the Burford Chamber of Trade display a sticker with a logo based on the old Burford seal, of the ‘Ramping Cat’ of Burford, or more correctly, the lion rampant gardant – that is upright and facing the viewer.
It was originally the badge of Robert FitzHamon who granted the charter which established the merchants’ guild between 1088 and 1107. |
