The BCCJ is open to members of all nationalities, and offers events, networking and promotional opportunities, information services, and access to influential individuals and institutions.
The Treaty of Commerce, Establishment and Navigation between Japan and the UK ratified this status in 1963, allowing the chamber to set up a permanent secretariat.
[1] In 1987, the decision was made to hire an executive director with a media and communications background, an important turning point in terms of advertising and making the BCCJ more accessible to members.
The 1990s also signified the first year that a Japanese member (Sukeyoshi Yamamoto of NSK Ltd.) had been asked to join the Executive Committee.
Held annually by the BCCJ every year, the British Business Awards are a not-for-profit event to recognise innovation and success for organizations across a plethora of industries.
Social contributions are awarded based on a commitment to community efforts, environmental sustainability, and recognition for ethical standards.
