Britain’s biggest business group has chosen Dawn Edwards to lead volunteer local activity in the East Midlands.
Dawn, from Nottinghamshire, has become FSB (Federation of Small Businesses)’s new Regional Chair for the whole of the East Midlands region which covers areas including the counties of Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Rutland, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire.
FSB has just celebrated it’s 50th year of supporting and representing small businesses and the self-employed, and Dawn sees her role as being a vital one to ensure FSB continues to grow its business community, with volunteering remaining essential to local business support.
Dawn Edwards is the founder and Managing Director of Challenge Consulting, an award-winning management and leadership training company based in Nottinghamshire. She said: “I’m delighted to have been appointed to this key role and want to ensure that the voice of small businesses across the East Midlands region is clearly heard.
“Building a business community where we can share experiences and support each other is key to my volunteer role and I look forward to meeting businesses across East Midlands whether virtually or in person.
“I’m also looking forward to working with the local staff team who have many years’ experience of business support across the region.”
In her new role, Dawn will be looking to help champion and represent FSB locally and be a key part of the new English Policy Unit team who discuss local and national issues from across England, to ensure FSB continue to be the leading business organisation representing the needs of small businesses and self-employed to national and local government.
