Hutt Valley Chamber of Commerce to Restructure

Hutt Valley Chamber of Commerce President Neville Hyde, has today announced the Lower Hutt based Chamber of Commerce will be undertaking a restructure.

Neville Hyde says, “This restructure has been sparked by the resignation of our Chief Executive Mark Futter. The Board, Mark and the team have been working together on a transition plan for the Chamber following Mark’s decision to move on.

Mark has led the Chamber for almost five years now, delivering strong membership growth and engagement, as well as many new initiatives. This year we celebrate 75 years of operation, so we are taking this opportunity to rethink our work in the community and set ourselves up for the future.”

The Hutt Valley Chamber is considered by many to be one of New Zealand’s leading Chambers of Commerce. In 2017 the Hutt Valley Chamber served over 700 members and partners, delivered 44 events, hosted more than 4400 people, and delivered more than 40 business training courses. In recent years, the Hutt Valley Chamber has also built up its suite of regional showcase events including the Business Excellence Awards, the Business Expo and the Business Hall of Fame. The restructure includes a reorganisation of the roles within the Chamber and the services and events that the Chamber will provide.

Neville says, “In order to keep innovating and growing we are working on a new recipe. As with all businesses we find ourselves in an ever-changing environment. With our huge calendar, our showcase events and our extensive partner programme we are adapting our offering and looking at new opportunities.

One of the strengths of our Chamber is that we are first and foremost focussed on our members and partners. Throughout this process we will ensure our members and supporters continue to enjoy the level of support and engagement that they have come to expect and value. We will keep members and partners updated as we work through the changes over the coming months.”
