Jen and Matt mark a decade of supporting Chamber members!

Over the past couple of months, two members of the Chamber team have marked 10-year anniversaries of working at the organisation: Jenny Davidson, Events & Young Chamber Manager, and Matt Hodgson, Policy & Communications Manager.

Jenny joined the Chamber in February 2015 and soon took on the role of Events Manager. Since then, Jenny has played a pivotal part in transforming the networking and support events that the Chamber regularly hosts, as well as our Annual Ball & Recognition Awards. Jenny took on responsibility for the Young Chamber programme when it was launched in late 2017 to support pupils gain the skills needed when entering the workplace.

“I can’t quite believe it has been 10 years since I started at the Chamber and time seems to have flown by! Our events play a crucial role in connecting members together and providing that platform to foster business relationships. I’m proud to have contributed to their continued success over the years and am also really looking forward to our future plans to grow our Young Chamber programme even further!” said Jenny. Matt has had a few different roles throughout his time at the Chamber after joining in March 2015 where he started off as an Export Documentation Assistant. Matt then moved into a Policy Executive position before becoming Policy & Communications Manager in 2017 where he works promote the Chamber and the support it provides to the business community. More recently, Matt has taken an active role in meeting businesses interested in membership and showcasing the value it can provide.

“Like Jen, I don’t really know where the last 10 years have gone! It has been a bit of a whirlwind journey having had a number of different roles and responsibilities throughout my time here but I have loved every minute,” said Matt.

“Having the opportunity to engage with so many experienced and inspirational business people over the last 10 years has also been a privilege and I have definitely learnt a lot. It is an exciting time for the Chamber and I am really looking forward to what the future holds!”
