The organisation has six sub-groups – Membership, Consultation and Representation, Finance, Marketing, Projects and Events.  Directors are involved with all groups, and report back to the board on a regular basis, but do not necessarily chair the committees.

Tasks carried out by the six groups include diverse projects such as working in partnership with High Peak Borough Council and the University of Derby in Buxton on plans for a business incubator unit for Buxton, and raising funds to enhance the Christmas Lights and provide a switch on event for local people at the same time as raising money for Blythe House Hospice.  The Membership Group tries to ensure that Members are provided with value for money from their membership by organising Networking Events and Workshops etc, whilst the Marketing Group maintains the extremely successful website www.visitbuxton.co.uk and strives to bring together everyone working in marketing in Buxton to the benefit of the town as a whole.
