TRADE SECRETS Clare Crouch President, Lewes Chamber of Commerce Tell us about yourself… I was born in Firle and moved to Lewes aged five. I came to HRS Creative in 1990 as a bookkeeper/ secretary, liked the creative side and learnt about graphic design. It’s been my company for almost three years. Tell us about Lewes Chamber of Commerce… It began in 1935 and it’s about promoting Lewes as a place for people to come, stay, eat and shop. We want what’s in the best interest of the town and what helps to bring business and revenue here. We currently have over 80 members. How long have you been president? I joined three years ago. In April of this year, I took over as president from David Clark. Who does the Chamber represent? We cover the whole of the Lewes District. Businesses join, rather than individuals. Some members are sole traders, others are shops, organisations or businesses of all sizes. Members include the Lewes Golf Club, Chestnut Tree Hospice, Cheese Please and Lewes District Council. Not as many independent shops as we’d like, but we are now getting new members every month. Why should people join? We have the motto ‘don’t just join - join in’ because we are only as good as our members and their involvement. People used to think we’re just organisers of Lewes Late Night Shopping, but we’re more than that. We run networking events every three weeks - breakfasts, lunches, ‘meet and mingles’. People can misunderstand what networking is. It’s about communication, sharing ideas, getting to know and trust people you might want to work with in future. We like using venues which are run by members, such as Pelham House Hotel and the Dorset Arms. We recently had a talk by Clive Wilding from the North Street Quarter, and we’ve put on free training in business fire and safety too. How much does it cost? Charities and not-forprofits can join from £25 per year; businesses from £60 up to £100. What you pay depends on the size of your business. The Chamber is funded by our membership fees and events we hold, and run by volunteers who make up the Executive Committee. How would you describe Lewes as a business town? Quirky, strong, independent, interesting architecturally. A friendly atmosphere when it comes to doing business here. There are shops and services in all kinds of unusual spaces and locations. What’s happening at Late Night Shopping this year? Adam from Harvey’s works hard all year preparing for it. The charity we’ll be fundraising for is the Chestnut Tree Hospice. As usual, Harvey’s will have a hog roast. There will be Morris dancers, Santa in Lewes House, rides, carol singers, stalls and the town trail to draw people to the top of town. What’s your favourite part? Mrs Clark’s mince pies. And how social it is. What do you most like about Christmas? It’s nice to get some time off!
