In conversation with... Louise Latchford

She’s an icon!

I would love to hear her side of things regarding the Kennedys.

Tell us about your time at the Chamber.

I started at the Chamber in November 2024 as Marketing Executive on a six-month contract, so I’m currently in my fourth month. So far, I have enjoyed meeting the fabulous members and attending monthly Chamber Lunches, Women in Leadership Lunches, Diamond Club events and so on. The team at the Chamber are a wonderful bunch and have made me feel so welcome.

What has been your proudest moment?

My social media event reels have been revolutionary. The first in the Chamber’s history! Colleagues and members have complimented the social media as a whole, but particularly the event reels. Post engagement has been at an all-time high and it’s been great getting our members together online and sharing their experiences and views on topical subjects such as AI.

Do you have a favourite event?

The very first event I attended for the Chamber was a Women in Leadership lunch, with guest speakers, Helen Ashby (Broxbourne Ambition) and Sheyda Monshizadeh-Azar (Google Data Centre).

Listening to these women talk through their rise to the top of their field and the adversity they were met with was truly inspirational and really resonated with me and my career so far. The energy at that event was AMAZING.

When you are away from the office, what do you enjoy doing?

I enjoy socialising with friends and catching up with family. I am really into spirituality so can often be found having energetic healing treatments or attending meditation groups and spiritual courses.

If you could have a dinner party with three guests, living or dead, who would you invite?

Marilyn Monroe – She’s an icon! I would love to hear her side of things regarding the Kennedys. Michael Jackson – What really happened? Why did he feel the need to constantly change his appearance? Elon Musk – He has such a beautiful mind and I would love an insight and discussion on what he thinks the future will look like in 20 to 30 years!

Tell us about the best holiday you’ve ever had.

Skiing in Meribel ski resort in France with my best friend. The amazing night life, beautiful village shops and stunning ski slopes, teamed with the sunshine and warm climate, made this holiday one to remember.

And, finally, tell us something people may not know about you.

I was the best goal shooter in the country when I was 14, as part of the winning team at the National Schools Netball Tournament.
