BUSINESS REPORT
BCC DIRECTOR GENERAL TO STEP DOWN FROM ROLE
The Board of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) has announced that director general Dr Adam Marshall will leave the organisation in spring 2021. Dr Marshall has been director
general for five years, and has been part of the leadership team of the BCC for almost 12 years. He leaves the organisation with an enhanced profile and impact, a stable financial position, strong governance and a record number of female leaders amongst both its non-executive and executive leadership. Working closely with the board, Dr
Marshall will remain at the helm over the coming months and will ensure a smooth and effective transition with his successor. He will leave the organisation with the respect and gratitude of the board, staff, Chambers and members across the UK and worldwide. Dr Marshall has not yet announced his future plans. Dr Marshall said: “Chamber
business communities represent the best of British business. It has been an honour and a privilege to serve
this civic-minded, passionate, and purposeful network for nearly 12 years. I feel the time is right to hand over to a great successor who will continue the fight for our business communities.” BCC chair Sarah Howard MBE
said: “I know I speak for so many Chamber members, both here in the UK and across the world, when I say that Adam will be missed. He took over at a time of great uncertainty but has led BCC confidently to its strongest position in years. Chambers have never been more relevant or more necessary than they are today.” BCC president Baroness Ruby
McGregor-Smith CBE said: “Adam’s commitment to UK businesses, communities and diversity is one of many reasons I was excited to become president of BCC. He has dedicated great energy and passion to the organisation and leaves the BCC and the Chamber Network in a stronger position at this critical moment for our businesses and for our country.”
