As Heathrow is the UK’s only international hub airport, it is a crucial connection between Hillingdon and the rest of the world and a resource that can be used to help deliver growth for all local businesses.
Hillingdon Chamber of Commerce works in partnership with local businesses from the smallest sole trader to the largest multinational, to provide access to various informative networking events and seminars to help our business community grow.
Heathrow’s smooth operation depends on sourcing a wide range of works, goods and services. From Cyber and Technology, Infrastructure and Operational Procurement. To indicate the scale, the airport spend was over £1.5bn in 2019 with more than 1,200 suppliers from around the UK.
Given the scale of Heathrow’s operation and its impact on the UK economy, Heathrow approaches its supply chain with an inclusive approach. This includes striving to work with partners and stakeholders of all sizes, including looking for opportunities to support local businesses, disadvantaged and underrepresented people and companies and proactively identifying new suppliers to join their team.
