[New] Celebrating a decade

Reflections from a decade of service to Hertfordshire Chamber of Commerce… Mary C Sykes, BA MCIPR

From introducing Angus Thirwell, Co-founder of Hotel Chocolat (to say he is passionate about chocolate is an understatement!) at the Christmas lunch in 2014 to visiting the planet Mars at Airbus, supporting Stevenage Biocatalyst when it first opened and helping share the significant news about Sunset Studios (Hollywood!) coming to Broxbourne in 2022, my time at the Chamber has been a tremendous journey of showcasing a wide range of outstanding businesses and organisations.

It has been my absolute pleasure to work alongside the talented and dedicated team with unimaginable passion at Herts Chamber to help so many varied businesses.

A few of the several hundred highlights from the past ten years have included: • attending the celebration of the Queen’s awards for London Examination Board 2021 • representing Briege Leahy at the High Sheriff Awards 2022 • supporting Ukrainian refugees via Chamber network
