The move looks set to further amplify the chamber’s message and promote its vital work to bolster businesses and encourage more residents to shop locally.

Justine Halifax, who is CEO of Angel Media, brings a wealth of experience from her extensive 20-year plus career in journalism and PR where she has elevated the profiles of SMEs across the Midlands.

Chamber president Ruth Redgate, who is also CEO of Hunnypot Cottage Bakery, said: "We’re delighted to welcome Justine onboard.

The new collaboration comes hot on the heels of the chamber’s revelation that it’s become the first sponsor of Lichfield-headquartered NetworkLocal, which is dedicated to giving free support and promotion to independent businesses.

The sponsorship deal not only unlocked a raft of benefits for Lichfield’s SMEs but also ushered in a heightened focus on encouraging people to shop locally. 

This latest collaboration with Angel Media is set to further enhance its vision. 

Thrilled to bolster chamber’s mission to foster a vibrant community

Justine said that she was “proud” and looking forward to supporting the work of the 120-year-old chamber. 

The mother-of-two said: "I'm thrilled to take up this role which gives me the opportunity to deploy my media expertise to support Lichfield Chamber of Trade and Commerce’s mission. 

“It will allow me to contribute to the growth of my hometown and success of fellow, local businesses, to further foster a vibrant and prosperous community."
