Bridgwater Chamber of Commerce are pleased to welcome their new General Manager, and he’s a face that people might just recognise!
Following 2 years working in the recycling industry for Bridgwater-based Presona UK, Roger Smith has returned to the Chamber to carry on the great work carried out by Diogo Rodrigues.
A stalwart of the Bridgwater business community after his 10 years managing Angel Place Shopping Centre, Roger previously managed the Chamber for 2 years from 2020-2022, guiding local businesses throughout the Covid years with support ranging from signposting towards grants, training workshops and online networking events as well as developing links with the local authorities and major stakeholders including Bridgwater and Taunton College, EDF and This is Gravity.
Returning to this role is about ensuring that the Chamber is at the forefront of the drive to ensure that the local business community have every possible chance to take full advantage of the opportunities we have locally with the exciting projects such as This is Gravity and Agratas that we have on our doorstep. I look forward to developing new, and existing, connections through a wide variety of events, both formal and social as well as lobbying local and central government and helping Bridgwater to fulfil its enormous potential.
General Manager, Roger Smith
It’s great to have someone of Roger’s experience and ability back to help ensure that the Chamber is able to continue its’ goal of supporting local business, he is not just a steady and safe pair of hands, he is genuinely excited and ridiculously passionate about taking on the challenges that face us as small businesses.
Board Chairman, Gavin Roberts
