All change at the top as incoming CEO set to join NI Chamber of Commerce
Following the appointment of three senior Managers from within its team, it appears it’s all change at the top level in NI Chamber of Commerce, with the latest change still to come to fruition as Suzanne Wylie is expected to take up the post of Head of the organisation, from her current role as Chief Executive of the Government of Jersey, this summer.
