British Chambers Director General visits Coventry and Warwickshire

One of the UK’s leading industry figures paid a visit to Coventry and Warwickshire to hear from firms in the region – before playing a part in celebrating the achievements of a local businessperson.

The roundtable looked at a range of issues facing firms, from skills and recruitment to inflation and costs.

Shevaun said: “It was great to be in the region, hearing from businesses and also seeing the connections with local Government, education and other partners.

“The Chamber network is strong and well respected, and that is based on the fact that we are rooted in our areas and can speak with a collective voice nationally.

“Because of our local roots, we are able to take messages direct into Government on behalf of our members which is key at this time of economic uncertainty.”

The roundtable was followed by a special presentation to CTT’s Bob Massey who has spent 40 years in the financial sector and 20 years with CTT Group since co-founding the company with Clive Ponders.

Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber President Tom Mongan said: “We are delighted to commemorate this incredible landmark and pay tribute to Bob on all that he has achieved in his career.”
