Lisa, who is also joint managing director of Sheffield-based Airmaster Air Conditioning, will focus on core business and continue to build on the work that has been ongoing, such as:- engagement with chamber members, infrastructure and connectivity, and collaboration across the Sheffield City Region.

She said: “I never thought I’d become the first woman president of the Joint BR chamber or that along the way I would achieve a masters degree in management and become joint managing director of a £12 million business this year - but here I am!”
