INTERIM CHIEF TO STAY IN ROLE


Milton Keynes Chamber of Commerce has announced that its interim chief executive will continue in the role until late 2021. Louise Wall (pictured), commercial director of the Coventry and


Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce, was appointed on an interim basis in June and she has accepted the board’s offer of continuing in the role until the end of next year. Louise will remain in that role at the Coventry and Warwickshire


Chamber of Commerce while leading the team in Milton Keynes after the previous chief executive left to pursue other opportunities. She said: “I have thoroughly enjoyed the past two months getting to


know the team at the Milton Keynes Chamber of Commerce. “It is clear that there is an extremely dedicated group of people here


who are serving the members of this Chamber on a daily basis, particularly through these extremely difficult times. “It was important to me that I maintain my role in Coventry and


Warwickshire too because this is very much about helping a neighbouring Chamber through these unprecedented times before handing over the reins to the right candidate in late 2021 on a permanent basis.” Jacqui Wilkins, president of Milton Keynes Chamber of Commerce,


said: “We are thrilled that Louise has agreed to continue in the role of interim CEO until the end of 2021. “As the MK Chamber emerges into this new chapter in its history,


having stability in our leadership will allow us to deliver on the aspirations and expectations of our membership. In Louise we have found a fantastic leader, with a raft of experience and a thorough knowledge of the Chamber network, that is already reaping benefits for our members. The response we have had since she took up the post has been amazingly positive and we are grateful for our neighbours and colleagues at the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce for its support.”
