Dear Members & Stakeholders,
Last night we hosted our 2023 AGM here at Chamber House, with forty of our members joining us to hear of our year that was.
We provided attendees with an overview of our membership numbers, having welcomed 46 new businesses in the 2022/23 financial year and implementing several new initiatives has attracted a larger cohort of members within an organisation to be involved.
It is wonderful to offer such a diverse program of events and workshops, all the while building skills and capability to sustain the resilience needed in running a business.
I am delighted to share our 2022/23 Annual Report with you here.
The minutes from last night's meeting can also be viewed here.
We are proud to have Danny Griffin continuing on for a 3rd term as President. We value Danny's leadership and professionalism and look forward to another effective year.
