Our Chamber is respected far and wide for best practice and this is due in no small measure to the talent and application of Janice Tracey.

She led the organisation through a remarkable period of growth.  Janice was awarded the OBE, in the New Years Honours list 2007 for services to the Economy and Education. We will miss Janice and wish her every success in the future.
