Meet The Chamber Team in conversation with... Paige Scrivener

Transitioning from a role working with offenders to collaborating with professionals and becoming a project manager has been a significant achievement.

Tell us about your time at the Chamber

I started at the Chamber in 2022 as a Customer Relations Executive. Within the following year, I took my exams in Custom Procedures and EUR1 Documentation to allow me to work in the Export team as well as the Membership team. My role changed to Account Manager and Export Executive until February this year, when I was promoted to Project Manager and PA to Donna, our Managing Director.

What has been your proudest moment?

I’m proud of my whole journey at the Chamber. Before joining, I had never worked in an office. Transitioning from a role working with offenders to collaborating with professionals and becoming a project manager has been a significant achievement. The support I’ve received from colleagues, new and old, has been invaluable. I look forward to continuing to grow and contribute to the Chamber.

Do you have a favourite event?

My favourite event would either be the Summer Party or the Christmas Chamber Lunch. It’s great to see so many people at one event, in a more relaxed atmosphere, enjoying themselves with their colleagues and other members.

When you are away from work, what do you like to do?

Like a lot of people, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, and I’m also keen to explore new places, and go camping and hiking. Other things I love to do are going for rides on my motorbike, cooking/ trying new recipes, baking with my daughter and listening to music.

If you could have a dinner party with three people (living or dead), who would it be and why?

I think it would be quite a mixed group with Sir David Attenborough, Sean Lock, Nirmal Purja … and Alexander McQueen (who just turns up unannounced!)

Tell us about the best holiday you have ever had.

I couldn’t put the ‘best holiday’ label on just one as there have been a lot. Some of my best trips have been to Thailand, Tunisia, Cyprus and Australia.

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

I’ve always had a fascination with mountains, especially Mount Everest, and in 2026 I will be hiking through the Himalayas to Everest Base Camp.
