It is a self-financing organisation that gets its primary income from member subscriptions. The BCCD in its present form officially traces its roots back to 2001, when what was then the British Business Lunch Club was invited by the British Embassy to become the official British Chamber of Commerce in Denmark.

But the cornerstone of its activities, a luncheon on the third Friday of every month, became a fixture as early as 1985. The vision of the British Chamber of Commerce in Denmark is to be a “prominent promoter of business and culture between Britain and Denmark”.
