Inspirational women in business and the future of skills and ceramics in Staffordshire take centre stage in the spring edition of Feature Focus magazine.
Now in its fifth issue, the quarterly magazine includes exclusive interviews with all three of our International Women’s Day speakers, as well as the events’ host Kirsty Hulse – and award-winning marketing agency founder Chelsea Spencer.
Readers will also find a first welcome from incoming Staffordshire Chambers Chief Executive Stuart Elford ahead of his formal start in post next week.
Writing in the magazine, which is both free to read online and available to collect at Commerce House, Stuart said: “I arrived knowing this was a special organisation, but the warmth of the welcome I have received from the team, the Board and the wider membership has surpassed even that.
“This is a county with real energy, real talent and real potential, and I intend to throw myself into understanding it, championing it and helping to shape its future.
“This edition of Feature Focus is a wonderful introduction to the breadth of what this Chamber does and the quality of people connected to it. It is also a celebration of some outstanding individuals, not least Ramona Hirschi, our Deputy President, who features on this edition’s front cover.
“We also shine a light on our Business Awards, where the strength of applications this year reflects the innovation and ambition running through Staffordshire’s business community.
“I cannot wait to celebrate those stories together.”
