Lisa Bates-Wallis, who lives in St Albans and has worked with the Chamber of Commerce for 14 years, has now formed Lisa Bates Marketing which will specialise in events organising, social media and PR.

During her time at the Chamber, Lisa was one of the organisation's most prominent ambassadors. She organised networking sessions to introduce local business people and arranged larger events such as the annual St George's Day lunch.

She said: "I have really enjoyed being part of the St Albans business community and have had so much pleasure helping businesses thrive over so many years, meeting some incredible and inspiring people along the way.

"There is so much talent in the St Albans district and that is something I will always endeavour to showcase and celebrate."
