Sedgemoor Chamber Bids Farewell to T-Level Students Pietersen and Filip

Wednesday 23rd July, 2025

Sedgemoor Chamber of Commerce is saying goodbye to two valued members of its team this month, as T-level students Pietersen and Filip complete their placements after a year with the Chamber.

Since joining in 2023, Pietersen and Filip have become familiar faces to many of our members, whether at Chamber events or through day-to-day communications. Over the past year, they have brought energy, enthusiasm and a willingness to get stuck in, making a positive impact on the Chamber’s work and the local business community.

Both students have thrived during their time with us, taking on new challenges and stepping out of their comfort zones including presenting at one of our events, a first for both of them. Their commitment and adaptability have been a pleasure to witness, and we are incredibly proud of how they have grown in confidence and skill during their placements.

As Pietersen and Filip prepare to start new apprenticeships, we want to thank them for their dedication and hard work throughout the past year. They each have a bright future ahead, and we look forward to seeing all that they will achieve in their next chapter.

While we bid farewell to Pietersen and Filip, Roxy, another of our T-level students, will continue her placement with us, remaining a valued part of the Chamber team.
