Richard Brooks, head of Burton & District and Cannock Chase Chambers of Commerce, said: “I am looking forward to this year’s AGM as we thank Richard Wileman for the huge contribution he has made during his time as President.

“Richard has worked hard to help diversify and strengthen our Divisional Council, push for positive change and operational efficiencies, and represent Burton at the highest level.

“From meetings with local MPs, Chamber Council and patrons, through to networking across the region and even meeting the Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce, he has given the role real time, energy and professionalism.

“I would like to thank him personally, not only for his work, but also for his friendship. We now look ahead to a prosperous new year and to the incoming outlook of the divisional council.”
