A chamber that explains itself at length.
The mission of the BCCK is to promote the development of British trade, commerce and investment in Korea; to represent the opinion of the British business community in Korea on trade, commerce, finance and other industries; to help create a better understanding between the Korean and British business communities; and to provide business and networking opportunities to members.
Formed in 1977
Their own sentences, off About Us, in their order.
Formed in 1977, the British Chamber of Commerce in Korea (BCCK) is a non-profit organization that represents the business interests of its 450+ members in Korea.
The Chamber works together with the British government to promote British trade, commerce and investment in Korea and to provide trade support services to British companies seeking to enter the market.
Four counts are live on their site at once. Each is printed here against the page it appears on. Nothing has been averaged and nothing has been preferred, because a number that contradicts another number is a fact about what the chamber publishes, not a defect to tidy.
What the chamber aims to do
Three objectives, in their words and their order.
- To promote our members’ interests with government and business bodies in Korea and the UK and thereby to be recognized as an authoritative voice for international business in Korea.
- To create rewarding opportunities for our members to network in business, cultural and lifestyle contexts.
- To promote British and Korean trade through its business services.

Three questions the chamber asks itself
The questions and the answers are both printed on their About page.
- Why we exist?
- We create connections, opportunities, and visibility for our members through collaboration, events, and services that promote British-Korean business.
- How we behave?
- Our team lives our values as we put members’ success and the growth of a collaborative business community at the heart of what we do.
- What we do?
- The BCCK exists to support our members, fostering growth and connection across a community of British, Korean, and international companies in Korea.
Five crescent lines, and what each one is for
Very few chambers publish an explanation of their own logo. This one gives five crescents five meanings, says which flag each colour comes from, and says what the circle is.
The BCCK logo symbolizes the unique role the organization plays in UK-Korea relations. The logo consists of five crescent lines, each of which has its own distinct meaning.
The blue crescents on the outside of the circle represent both Korea and UK business, both of which interlock to form the circular shape.
- the promotion of trade
- the formation of a platform to encourage networking
- the conduction of advocacy services
The circular nature of the logo thus reflects our belief in the interconnectedness of the two countries and the synergetic values which both nations have.
The BCCK wordmark has been specially created to reflect the dynamic, professional and experienced nature of the Chamber. When referring to us in text, the full name is the British Chamber of Commerce in Korea. The accepted short form of our organization is the BCCK. Their logo page, including the four usage rules. The mark above is their own file. It is never redrawn on this site, because the third of those rules says not to.
An Executive Committee that meets monthly
⚠ Their English and Korean pages disagree about the ex officio seats, and both are printed rather than one being chosen.
The Executive Committee is comprised of representatives from 12 corporate members plus three ex-officio members from the British Embassy, the British Council and Visit Britain.
The Chamber operates under the direction of an Executive Committee which meets on a monthly basis. The day-to-day management of the Chamber is the responsibility of the Chief Executive Officer and his/her staff.
집행위원회는 12명의 법인 회원과 주한 영국대사관과 영국문화원 소속인 두 명의 당연직 위원들로 구성되어 있습니다.

Nineteen names, and a face for every one of them
The Executive Committee as the chamber publishes it, with the office and the employer it prints against each name. The chamber publishes a biography for most of them on its own page; those are theirs to tell and are not reproduced here.

The three activities their About page names.
A welfare centre in Mokpo, and a scholarship
Both are theirs, with the description the chamber wrote for each.
- Myongdo Welfare Center
- Established in 1992, Myongdo Welfare Center, located in the southern city of Mokpo, supports the needs of over 700 children and adults with various learning disabilities. The centre aims to provide services for children and adults with disabilities that reflect individual needs and choice while empowering them to become active and valued members of their communities.

- Chevening Scholarship
- The BCCK Chevening Scholarship is carried out in conjunction with the UK government’s international awards scheme aimed at developing global leaders. This scholarship offers a unique opportunity for future leaders, influencers, and decision-makers from all over the world to develop professionally and academically, network extensively, experience UK culture, and build lasting positive relationships with the UK. The BCCK sends a Korean graduate student from a discipline related to business every year. www.chevening.org

A broad spectrum of British, international and Korean companies.
