What is your role at the Chamber? I look after the Chamber’s networking calendar by putting on events, which include anything from Breakfast events to large black tie evenings and everything in between. Our varied events aim to provide networking opportunities to suit all of our member needs.
What is the best part of your job? I absolutely love meeting new people at events, as well as catching up with regular attendees. The feeling you get from putting on a great event that everyone enjoyed and made useful contacts at is incredible!
What is your biggest event in the calendar? The biggest event in the calendar would be the Devon Business Show. The show brings over 150 exhibitors together to showcase their products and services to hundreds of visitors from across the county. The show which takes place at Plymouth Pavilions involves the entire Devon Chamber team and it is a very exciting day for us all. I personally love seeing how much time and effort goes into exhibitor stands, they always have the wow factor and look fantastic!
What did you do before working at the Chamber? I was a student! The Chamber was my first
‘proper’ job after graduating, and my role has adapted completely since starting at the Chamber. I’m so grateful for all the people I’ve met and experience that I’ve gained since joining the team.
What do you do when you’re not at work? I am a bit of a gym bunny, so I’ll often be in the gym, but aside from that I like to spend time with family and catch up with friends, this usually involves eating lots of yummy food over lunch or dinner.

Devon Business Show hailed a success
This year’s Devon Business Show, held at Plymouth Pavilions on Wednesday 14 June, has been hailed a success. Exhibitors at the show have praised the number of high quality contacts made and the calibre of visitors present. Sponsored by Plymouth Citybus, Martin
Luck Group, Redrok, PCH Manufacturing, South West Water Business, Eddystone Media, Duke of Cornwall Hotel, Department for International Trade and DC Media, the Devon Business Show has more than doubled in size and scope since its original creation in 2013 where it showcased 70 businesses. This year’s show saw an extensive
range of activities for all visitors, including a special Bus Extravaganza by lead sponsors Plymouth Citybus, an International Trade lounge and a Networking lunch hosted by sponsors The Duke of Cornwall Hotel. With over 150 exhibitors on the day, the show was the biggest the Chamber had conducted since its original inception and showcased the passion and dedication that Devon businesses had to display. Richard Stevens, Chairman of
Devon Chamber of Commerce said: “As the largest event in the Chamber calendar, Devon Business Show offers a prime opportunity for businesses from
‘The Chamber will continue
to develop and grow this event’
across the County to highlight the exemplary business activity within the South West. The Chamber is delighted that this year’s Business Show has been the most successful yet, and would like to thank all sponsors, exhibitors and visitors for their
support in contributing to this stand out business event. Plans are already underway for
Devon Business Show 2018, and the Chamber will continue to develop and grow
