HAMPSHIRE Chamber of Commerce has made four new appointments to its board, securing added experience in finance, communications, marketing and education.

Corporate finance expert Joe Jeffers is the chief financial officer of Whiteley-based Peach Technologies, which acquired the IT managed service provider Taylor Made Computer Solutions in August 2018.

Marketing strategist, keynote speaker and corporate trainer David Harris is managing director and co-owner of Droxford company One2create.

Ed Gould is partner and creative director of creative communications agency Carswell Gould.

David Wales is Head of Faculty Professions and Employer Responsive at Sparsholt College and has in-depth knowledge of the arts, charity and education sectors.

The four join the board as non-executive directors helping to shape the chamber’s strategic growth as the county’s independent voice of business.

They will work alongside Executive Chairman Ross McNally, Chief Executive Maureen Frost and fellow board directors.

Ross said: “While building their own successful careers, these four outstanding individuals have shown great support for developing Hampshire’s wider business community. This reflects the Chamber’s own purpose on behalf of our membership.

“We look forward to working closely with our new directors as they share their experience, knowledge, ideas and energy with our board.”
