Covid Recovery
The Hutt Valley Chamber is part of the Hutt Valley Covid-19 Business Support Group, established in early March 2020 when the threat of Covid became very real. We work alongside Hutt City Council and Upper Hutt City Council to ensure our local businesses are supported and heard.
Business Training and Workshops
Our venue is utilised by many local organisations who run business training events and workshops throughout the year. Topics are wide and varied, from learning software, or digital marketing, to managing teams and covering aspects of running your business.
Room Hire
We have three main rooms available, ranging in size from accommodating just a few people, to space for over a hundred. We offer very reasonable rates for hire, with special deals for our Chamber members. Tea and coffee facilities are available and we can organise catering.

Keep an eye on our events page for our numerous events including the Political Series, Technology and Innovation Series, Women’s CEO lunches, Business Safaris, our flagship events and a whole lot more, taking place throughout the year.
