Ruth joins fellow newly-appointed NEDs, Charlie Blakemore, group managing director of Intercity and Amardeep Gill, partner at national and international law firm Trowers and Hamlins.
Ruth said:
“This is a pivotal time for Greater Birmingham’s business community. As we emerge from the pandemic and face new challenges and opportunities across a range of fronts.
“I believe GBCC’s mission to connect, support and grow local businesses will be more important than ever. I’m looking forward to working with my fellow board members to drive innovation and opportunity and to support the Chamber and its members to navigate the road ahead.”
