Neil Betts, vice president of Cannock Chase Chamber of Commerce has launched Chasebassadors, a growing business community network across the district to bring local entrepreneurs, tradespeople and business owners together.

The first meeting of the Chasebassador network will take place on 11 September at Fallow Forest with Dave James featuring as the guest speaker.

Dave is a speaker coach, who has had a successful career in healthcare as a A&E nurse and podiatrist. He has a postgraduate certificate in mindfulness, and has co-founded a men's meditation group. Dave has also been featured twice on TEDx.

Neil Betts, who also founded business consultancy Go True North, said: “Cannock Chase has always had bags of entrepreneurial talent, what it’s needed is a proper place for people to show up, meet each other, enhance their skills together, and back one another.”

Richard Brooks, head of Cannock Chase Chamber of Commerce, said: “We’re delighted to be part of the Chasebassadors community and to support its ambition to bring businesses from across Cannock Chase together.

“It is exactly the kind of grassroots initiative that helps create stronger connections, new opportunities and a louder voice for local enterprise.”
