The vice-chairman of Witham Chamber of Commerce has stepped down.

Daniel Cook, owner of Dynamic Consultants, has decided to leave the role as he will be moving away from Witham.

Whilst he is leaving the town there will still be a division of his business in Witham and he will continue on the chamber committee as a marketing officer.

Tina Townsend, chairman of Witham Chamber, said: "Dan has done an amazing job as my wing man and will be a hard act to follow; he may not be as close but he will still be around, just not as much as before.

"Please don’t worry though as the chamber is still in safe hand as I am pleased to announce that Ian Cass has agreed to step up into the vice-chairman role as a temporary appointment until at least next annual general meeting.

"Ian ran the chamber for many years and is already on the committee so we are grateful for his assistance during this transitional time."
