A NEW team has stepped up to run the Chipping Sodbury Chamber of Commerce for 2018.

A management coalition consisting of three executive members - business man Andrew Webb of Webb Associates, photographer Rich McD, and private client lawyer Michelle Baden-Daintree from Simpson Solicitors - have been elected by fellow members to run the chamber.

Andrew, Rich and Michelle share a vision of bringing the community's business owners together to capitalise on the expected trade and footfall for the market town during the coming year.

Jo Cox, who recently stepped down as chairwoman, will be supporting the trio as they adapt to their new roles.

Michelle said: “I am really excited to be working closely with Andrew and Rich.

"Over the next 12 months we have lots of plans to raise the profile of the town.”

The Chamber of Commerce provides a platform for businesses to reach potential new clients and find new leads.
