WNY Chamber appoints Business Engagement Manager

West & North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce is delighted to announce the appointment of Alice Ingram as its new Business Engagement Manager.

Alice will join the Chamber’s policy team and be charged with representing businesses across the York & North Yorkshire Chamber network.

Alice’s role will be a complex one dealing with company leaders, councils, the Local Enterprise Partnership and, as of 2024, an elected metro mayor for the region.

She joins from the AD:VENTURE programme where she worked as an adviser for the City of York’s start-up community.

Previously she has worked in both London and Hong Kong for organisations such as Coca Cola, and in York for Nestle, where she acted as a brand manager, as well as having successfully run her own enterprises, from a painting and decorating business to a marketing consultancy.

Ms Ingram said: “I’m really excited to be taking on this role at a time when businesses around the country need the full range of help and support that the Chamber can offer. I’m looking forward to talking to businesses across the York and North Yorkshire region and representing them as we move forward.”

Mark Casci, Head of Representation and Policy at West & North Yorkshire Chamber, said: “We are thrilled to announce Alice’s appointment to the Chamber team.

“Her skillset and network will make her an invaluable asset to the Chamber and York and North Yorkshire’s business community will have in Alice a real champion for their enterprises.

“With York and North Yorkshire going through a historic period of change, her time at the Chamber will be an extremely interesting one as the region enters an exciting new chapter.”
