Press Release: Felixstowe Chamber Chairman stepping down in March
It is with regret that the chamber announces that it’s Chairman, Shaun Rudduck will be stepping down at the AGM in March. Shaun has acted as Chairman for the past two years and has been instrumental in initiating and co-ordinating new projects for the town such as the Visit Felixstowe website (http://www.visitfelixstowe.co.uk/) and the Foreign Markets and he has been the main representative on numerous other committees. Due to other commitments Shaun is unable to dedicate as much time to the Chamber and can no longer fulfil the role as Chairman but he will continue to be an active committee member.
Shaun comments; ‘I have thoroughly enjoyed my work and time as Chairman. It is both an interesting and satisfying job and although sometimes it has its frustrations I am very pleased with the work we have done over the past two years. I am reluctant to stand down but do not feel that I will be able to provide the same level of commitment that is required to continue to keep the Chamber pro-active and moving forward.’
The Chamber is now seeking a new Chairman, a general assistant, and additional executive committee members to assist with the increasing workload and activities. For further information please contact Louise Berrill – Secretary in the first instance to arrange an informal discussion with Shaun Rudduck. 01394 279692 info@felixstowechamber.co.uk
