About us
From Founders’ Vision
to Vibrant Community
Originating in September 1986, Chester Business Club began with six visionary businessmen seeking to redefine business associations, moving beyond mere obligation to create a community of genuine belonging.
Chester Business Club champions connections and community
From its humble origins, the club’s intimate lunches burgeoned into a vibrant network, expanding its membership from 6 to 199 individuals, fostering an atmosphere where personal connections take precedence over corporate affiliations. Evolving beyond traditional associations, the Club hosts speaker dinners and diverse social activities, fostering engagement beyond business realms, even organising social weekends to global destinations.
