Chamber welcomes new chief executive

MID Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce has announced the appointment of new chief executive Martin Hathaway.

Hathaway, who was the former chief executive of Yorkshire and Humberside Chambers of Commerce, replaces former executive director Andrew Choi, who will be leaving the Chamber in September.
 
The Chamber operates throughout Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield, and former executive director Andrew Choi has worked hard to develop the organisation since his appointment in 2009, during which time membership has increased due to rebranding and continuous improvements to its membership benefits offer.
 
Chamber chairman David Horsman said: “On behalf of the board, and all Chamber members and staff, I would like to thank Andrew Choi for his commitment to the Chamber and the business communities throughout our region. We welcome our new chief executive Martin Hathaway, and look forward to building on our efforts to support the future growth of businesses in Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield. Finally, we all wish Andrew all the best with his future endeavours.”
