Chamber strengthens ranks with new committee trio

The Burton & District Chamber of Commerce has welcomed three newly elected members to their committee as they prepare to work closely with members and support them in the challenges facing businesses in the months ahead.

The new appointments were announced during the Burton Chamber AGM earlier this month.

The newly elected members of the Burton & District Chamber committee include Russell Jeans (pictured), CEO, Sefton and Associates, Richard Faulkner, director, Alexander Accountancy and Michelle Spaul, customer experience consultant, Delta Swan.

Steve Mattin, head of Burton & District Chamber, said: “The recent Burton & District AGM was a chance to welcome newly elected members, say goodbye and thanks to those stepping down, and to sum up where we are as a division. The previous year was a turbulent one, with the challenges and uncertainties of a post-Covid world, the rising cost of living, fuel, and energy, with many difficulties with supply and resources for most businesses. However, despite all that, the membership level remained buoyant, and the higher-than-average retention rate is something to build upon.

"So, as we move into my first full year as Head of Division, I 'm very optimistic and looking forward to working closely with Burton & District council members to ensure we increase our support for members over the challenging months ahead."
