Sutlet Group and the Chambers of Commerce

The Sutlet Group has long been a supporter of the Chambers of Commerce in Thailand. It is our belief that they serve a vital role in the local business community, and provide a professional and responsible approach to coordinating and assisting foreign-businesses in Thailand.

We back up this statement by being active members of no less than four of the main Chambers of Commerce, including:
  • The British Chamber of Commerce Thailand (BCCT)
  • The Australian Chamber of Commerce Thailand
  • The American Chamber of Commerce Thailand
  • The Thai-New Zealand Chamber of Commerce 
All of the Chambers above provide excellent opportunities for business and networking, and have all been exceptional communication channels for the Sutlet Group. 

Additional Chamber activities

Our longest Chamber relationship is with the British Chamber of Commerce Thailand, with our membership stretching back many years. Our strong support of the BCCT is demonstrated as follows:

1. Importantly, the Sutlet Group is one of just 5 Annual Corporate Sponsors of the BCCT, alongside the likes of KPMG, Standard Chartered and HSBC.

2. Our Chairman, Chris Thatcher, has been elected to the BCCT Board of Directors.

3. Mr. Thatcher also Chairs the BCCT SME Committee, providing support and ideas for small businesses operating in Thailand. This has included giving presentations at organised events.

4. In addition to this, Mr. Thatcher also participates on a half dozen more British Chamber Committees, lending his insight and experience.

5. Later in 2010, the Sutlet Group will be sponsoring a monthly networking evening for the BCCT, providing prizes, information packs and more.

The Sutlet Group supports the CEOP

The British Chamber of Commerce Thailand (BCCT) recently signed an MoU with the UK's Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) to promote the International Child Protection Network.

Sutlet Group were one of the first to sign up to this and attended the inaugural SE Asian conference.


Child protection is an issue for all of us and by joining this initiative Sutlet Group hope to contribute to raising awareness both with its own employees and customers and to a wider group through the charity work we undertake.

As many will already know, the internet presents new and dangerous opportunities for those wishing to abuse children to make contact with them. Knowing how to counter this is an important element of the work of CEOP.

Child abuse comes in may forms and again, awareness raising is important. Even more it is crucial to help people to understand what to do if they encounter any form of child abuse or exploitation.

Sutlet Group are proud to be able to play their part in this crucial work.

If you would like further information on the work of CEOP and how you can support it, please contact our Chairman, Chris Thatcher, by email (chris@sutletgroup.com) or through our office.
