Having worked in finance in Norfolk for my entire professional career and across a number of sectors – from banking, insurance and professional services, to manufacturing and offshore energy. I have seen first hand that the challenges faced by businesses are the same regardless of industry or size, and I believe that the Chambers are well-positioned to be representative of each and every business in Norfolk regardless of shape or size or sector. These challenges (and the opportunities presented by those challenges) continue to evolve and so too does the Chamber, and I am excited to be able to support the Chamber through its next phase.”
