Chamber expansion creates new jobs and services

Services including a Mentoring Panel, Peer-2-Peer Programme, Press Desk and HR Helpline, are being launched as part of a growth strategy along with the creation of four jobs.

The new recruits are commercial sales manager Rebecca Mason; events manager Matilda Baker; commercial accounts manager Jo Wallis, and product and services executive Tom Ashurst.

Several staff have taken on new roles to help deliver the new services which aim to help the chamber to continue to attract businesses throughout York and North Yorkshire.

Among those changing roles are Sarah Welsh and Hannah Bairstow, who are promoted from events co-ordinators to events managers; Jade Daniel, who has completed an apprenticeship and become a trainee finance executive, and Dawn Dobson, who moves from account manager to sales manager.

The Head of York and North Yorkshire Chamber, Susie Cawood, who is taking on a wider lobbying and representational role, says: “We’re delighted to unveil these new recruits and services which are part of York and North Yorkshire Chamber growing in sophistication as well as size.”
