An insurance industry expert and respected business owner has been appointed as a vice-president of the Lichfield and Tamworth Chamber of Commerce.

Martin Hall (pictured), who has more than 30 years of experience in the insurance sectors, is the managing director of his own firm M Hall Limited – a business established in 2022 to provide insurance market intelligence, mentoring and advocacy.

He has been co-opted as vice-president following a majority vote from the Chamber’s executive committee.

As well as running his own business, Martin sits on the board of several small tech companies and chairs the music education charity Services for Education.

The Tamworth-born businessman is also chair of governors at a West Midlands dual entry primary school and an enterprise adviser to secondary schools.

Martin said: “I am delighted and very proud to be appointed vice-president of Lichfield and Tamworth Chamber of Commerce. 

“I grew up in Tamworth and have lived and worked in the area for over 35 years. 

“The business community here is vibrant, confident and ready to shout about what’s great about the area – supporting this is an absolute privilege.

“I’m looking forward to working with president Fiona Rouse, and fellow vice-presidents Hannah Montgomery and Julie Poppleton - three superstars of our business community - and the executive committee.

“I care deeply about helping businesses grow, be a positive force in their communities and invest in the future talent of our area. I can’t wait to get stuck in!”

Charlie Elliott, head of Lichfield and Tamworth Chamber of Commerce, said: “Martin has already made a fantastic contribution as a member of the committee, and we’re excited to see him step into this role.

“His dedication to championing local businesses and supporting the wider Chamber network makes him a brilliant fit for the vice-president position.”
