“When I first set up my business in Kenilworth the chamber offered me lots of help and support and having the opportunity to discuss issues with other business owners was a lifeline for me.

“In becoming chair this enabled me the opportunity to give back to the community and people who helped me along the way.

“The Worthies has also been a particularly fabulous event to be involved in, the buzz around the town and the delight from the winners certainly makes all the effort by a committee of volunteers worthwhile.
