A new chief executive is at the helm of the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce.
Corin Crane has joined the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce after leading the Black Country Chamber for almost six years.
He succeeds Louise Bennett, who has run the organisation for 20 years and will remain with the organisation for a brief period to handover.
Crane said: “I’m incredibly honoured to be given this opportunity to lead the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber and will make sure that the brilliant work that Louise and the chamber board have done over the last 20 years becomes the springboard for success in the future.
“I have a long history of supporting Midlands businesses and they are facing some difficult times in the coming months as we negotiate spiralling inflation, huge hikes in energy and fuel costs, hard to fill vacancies, increased pay demands and supply chain issues.
“But alongside the support many will need to survive and grow – I will be focused on celebrating the incredible stories of our local entrepreneurs and businesses that Coventry and Warwickshire is famous for, and making sure that every possible opportunity is seized.”
