13/01/2012
A new President has been appointed at the Cornwall Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Cornwall based businesswoman, Sue Hook, is taking over the Presidency from Martin Follett who has held the position for the past six years.
The appointment was confirmed at the Cornwall Chamber of Commerce’s Annual General Meeting at the end of December and the board is now delighted to announce Sue as their new President, whilst thanking Martin for all of his hard work.
Richard Glover, Chief Executive of Cornwall Chamber of Commerce said:
“Under Martin’s leadership the Chamber has been transformed. Thanks to his hard work we can look to a plan that has provided a growing membership, a stronger organisation and a higher profile than ever before. This has given businesses in Cornwall a strong voice to be heard both inside and outside the county. With such solid foundations, we are excited about the future and moving forward with Sue as our President”.
Sue said:
“We have many micro or small businesses in Cornwall and I feel that I can put forward the position of running a small business in the county, whilst making sure that we offer larger businesses excellent returns. The Chamber works hard to support all businesses to develop and its success in this is reflected in the increase in members and wider range of networking opportunities organized across the county.”
Sue continued:
“Martin has been a fantastic President. We have a good board and council in place and people who are passionate about Cornish businesses and representing Cornwall to the rest of the country. Thanks to the strong position that Martin has worked to put the Chamber in, I’m excited to be taking this forward”.
