Changes include relocation to a new office and a restructure of the membership scheme to reflect the city’s changing business landscape, leading to a record number of new members and patrons.
Chris Waine said:
“I am delighted to continue supporting the Chamber but in a new capacity as vice chair of the board. The Chamber continues to evolve and more than ever it is playing a crucial role in supporting businesses at a time of economic volatility. I look forward to working with the existing Chamber team and the new members of the Board. Exciting times ahead.”
