We're passionate about one thing... Lancing!

The people involved with the Lancing Traders' Association are passionate about the location, the people, the businesses, the local community, the environment we live in and much more...

About Lancing Traders' Association

The newly re-established Lancing Traders' Association was set up in 2019 to bring local businesses together so that it can all help local business people and boost the local economy.

There's no getting away from the fact the last couple of years have been difficult for everyone. But this just makes Lancing Traders' Association even more important; we need to support each other in times of need. So let's work together to build the community and help each other.

What we've achieved

In the last three years, Lancing Traders' Association has helped secure local authority grant funding to smarten up the village, taken part and organised local business events. As well as set up local initatives to bring the business community together and promote prosperity. 

The team at Lancing Traders' Association are really proud of this website too and the business directory it has provided for Lancing. The team hope that it will boost Lancing's profile even further.
