Chamber chief executive takes on national role

Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce chief executive, Corin Crane, has been appointed by the British Chambers of Commerce as a new Chamber Network Non-Executive Director.

Corin, who joined the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber from the Black Country Chamber three years ago, joins Louisa Harrison-Walker OBE, chief executive of Sheffield Chamber of Commerce, as one of two new Non-Executive Directors in the role.

Chamber chief executive takes on national role

Both were appointed by the British Chambers of Commerce Board earlier this month, following an open call to the Chamber Network and a series of interviews held over the summer.

Their appointments follow the retirement by rotation of Stuart Patrick CBE (Glasgow) and Scott Knowles DL (East Midlands) after two full three-year terms, as well as the retirement of Sara Williams OBE at the 2025 AGM.

Their appointments will be taken to Members for election at the 2026 AGM.

Corin said: “As everyone knows, I am passionate believer in the Chamber movement because of the support, the voice and the connections we provide to businesses in our local areas.

"Through the British Chambers of Commerce and our wider network we are part of an even bigger, stronger group of businesses making our voice on behalf of our members even more powerful.

“I am, therefore, delighted to be taking up this role as a Chamber Network Non-Executive Director.”
