Although not a formal post holder within the Chamber Executive, Richard is a valued member who is willing to help on a more regular basis.

His early working years back in the 1980s brought a selection of administrative roles in finance, the civil service, property management and manufacturing, which gave him a wide range of experiences that he brought to his work in IT – a field where he has been running his own business since 1993.
