Scottish Chambers of Commerce (SCC) has appointed Charandeep Singh to the new role of deputy chief executive.
Mr Singh, until now the business lobby group’s head of external relations, will focus on growing the reach of the Scottish Chamber Network nationally and internationally in his new berth.
And he will continue to work closely with chief executive Liz Cameron to expand the network’s commercial opportunities, raise the profile of business among decision makers and on strategy development.
Ms Cameron said: “Our Network is growing and strengthening its position to promote the interests of Scottish business nationally and internationally. To achieve this growth and deliver for our members, investing in the talent of our team is critical to the success of the Chamber Network and the business community. I am delighted to appoint Charandeep to the post of deputy chief executive where he will bring his utmost dedication and entrepreneurial zeal to supporting the growth of the Scottish business community.”
Mr Singh, who has worked for SCC for six years, said: “This is an exciting new role which I am honoured to take on. In the midst of political uncertainty and economic challenges, a strong business-led Chamber Network has never been more important.”
Mr Singh, who formerly worked for the Scottish Council for Development and Industry, added: “I am absolutely committed to raising the voice of business to decision makers, making sure that business communities in Scotland are thriving.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
