Business directory 2009- 2010

Richmond Council and Richmond Chamber of Commerce are pleased to announce the latest version of the local guide and directory for business in the borough. Re-named this year as the 'Business in Richmond upon Thames Guide and Business Directory 2009 - 2010', this is a fantastic resource for local businesses.

With information on the economic and employment profile of the borough, an indication of key priorities for local strategic partners over the next 10 years and useful contacts for local and national support agencies for businesses.

There is also information about our local skills and training providers and how to sell to the Council and access Council services.

Where to collect a copy

The hard copy version can be collected from libraries, council offices and through the Richmond Chamber of Commerce and other partners. Alternatively you can download a copy(pdf, 5234KB) of the directory or visit the interactive online directory.

How to get listed

This year we are pleased to include an interactive online directory that can be updated prior to the next hard copy print due in 18 months. This will mean that you can showcase your business in real time, update your profile to reflect changes of address and search for local suppliers and customers.  

If you would like to talk with the publishers about listing your business in the directory you can follow the prompts on the online directory or contact Burrows Communications.
