New events and training manager joins chamber

A new events and training manager has been appointed at Shropshire Chamber of Commerce.

Roger Taylor from Telford has spent all his working life in the public sector as a civil servant with the Ministry of Defence at MOD Donnington, the equipment support provision and procurement authority and at RAF Cosford.

He said: "The majority of that time has been in training and development and I felt the time had come for a change.

"This new role presents me with the opportunity to still use my skills, knowledge and experience I've gained in my career so far and apply it in a different environment.

"I am looking forward to supporting the diverse community of the chamber and hopefully making a difference for the better with them."

Kelly Riedel, the chamber's head of member success, added: "We're absolutely delighted to welcome Roger to the team.

"He's going to be a real asset, strengthening our ability to deliver high-quality programmes that genuinely support business growth across the region.

"Businesses tell us they want practical skills, relevant insights and opportunities to connect.

"Strengthening our team in this area means we can respond even more effectively to those priorities."
