the organisation was shared with members at its AGM, which saw the organisation post its best financial results since the Barnsley and Rotherham Chambers merged in 2007. Driven by a growing membership and increased demand for training among local businesses, the Chamber saw membership numbers rise to 1152, as well as recording a 90% membership retention rate. The hard work of the membership team has seen Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber become a finalist at the British Chamber of Commerce Awards for Excellence in Membership Services. Chief Executive Andrew Denniff also
welcomed a number of new appointments to the Chamber’s Board. Tricia Smith of The Source Skills Academy; Glen Banks of Kinspeed and Frank Kler of Learning Curve Group were appointed as non-executive directors.

paid tribute to longstanding director Gareth Owen, who stepped down from his role with the Chamber at the AGM. A well-known member of South Yorkshire’s legal
community, Gareth spent more than 34 years working at
Sheffield-based Keeble Hawson, and has acted as a member of Barnsley &
Rotherham Chamber’s Member Representation
Council since 2009 and been a non-executive director since 2010. Andrew Denniff (pictured), Chief Executive at
Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber, said: “For the first time in the history of our Chamber, when the board meets again, there will be more women sitting around the table than men. I think this speaks volumes about how far we have come as an organisation. Over the past 12 months we have seen all areas of our business enjoy significant growth and this is largely due
to the efforts and dedication of our staff and Chamber members who have given up their time to support our work through our member representation council and working groups. “As Britain heads towards uncertain economic
times, the need for support and representation for local businesses has never been greater. Despite the uncertainty posed over the implications of Brexit, it is clear that growing numbers of business owners across the region are turning to the Chamber for advice and support.”
