The “enthusiasm, dedication and tenacity” of the Chamber’s CEO were recognised at the Christmas lunch where she was presented with a special award.
Briege Leahy was thanked by the Chamber’s chairman, Jeremy Bishop, for her “drive and hard work in helping make our organisation what it is – a shining beacon of encouragement and hope for all our members”.
The special recognition award was a surprise inclusion at the festive gathering at Tewin Bury Farm Hotel where members and guests gathered to celebrate.
Jeremy said: “The past couple of years have been incredibly challenging for us all, as businesses and as individuals we have had to find new ways to work, new ways to engage with our clients and, even more importantly, new ways to manage our teams.
“We have a really fantastic team at the Chamber who deliver amazing events – like this one – keep our members updated, encourage networking and always promote the best interests of our business community.
“As business owners, business managers, we all know the value of a genuine word of thanks, not just in the private meeting but also in front of our teams.
“This particular season is always a good time to express our thanks to the people that work with us, and as Chairman of the

Hertfordshire Chamber of Commerce
I would like to single someone out for a very public thank you on behalf of the Board.”
After receiving the framed certificate, Briege said: “This award isn’t just for me, but for everyone in the room and Herts Chamber as a whole. Without all of you I could not do what I do.
“We have an amazing business community in the county and, with your support, we can continue to grow and continue to make a difference for our members.”
Speakers at the annual event, where the London Community Gospel Choir entertained guests, were Richard Behan, Chief Corporate Officer, CAE Technology Services; Rakesh Dua, Chief Executive, DUA Accountancy & Consultancy; and Cheryl Luzet, Chief Executive, Wagada Digital.
