A new business growth manager has been appointed to champion enterprise in Shropshire.
The Shropshire Chamber of Commerce has welcomed Mel Board to the role.
Ms Board has worked in the giftware industry and hospitality, earning accolades including AA Rosettes and national accommodation awards.
She said: "I’ve spent most of my working life running businesses and have first-hand empathy with the challenges and opportunities businesses face today.
"I hope my background enables me to offer practical and relevant support."
Ms Board and her husband previously transformed derelict pubs and B&Bs into award-winning venues, including those recognised in the Michelin Guide.
Ruth Ross, chief executive of Shropshire Chamber, said: "Mel’s experience across multiple sectors, combined with her passion for helping people, makes her an invaluable addition to our team.
"She embodies the Chamber’s commitment to supporting businesses through every stage of their journey."
In her new position, Ms Board will work closely with businesses to understand their goals, offer practical support, and demonstrate the value of Chamber membership.
