We’re pleased to announce that Estaban Bridges has taken over as Chairman of Shrewsbury Business Chamber, following Kevin Lockwood’s eight years in the role.
Estaban brings a wealth of experience as a local entrepreneur, having built a portfolio of businesses and supported other entrepreneurs throughout his career. His journey in business began in Shrewsbury Market, where he launched DVD Megastore through The Prince’s Trust New Enterprise Initiative. The business is now based in the Darwin Centre.
As our new Chairman, Estaban is looking forward to building on the work of Kevin and the wider Chamber team, supporting our growing membership, strengthening our events programme and continuing to champion the diverse range of businesses across Shrewsbury.
“I am thankful to the board for giving me this opportunity to continue the positive growth and impact Kevin and others have had on the expansion of Shrewsbury Business Chamber.
Estaban Bridges, Chairman
“I look forward to bringing my passion, enthusiasm and experience to the role, supporting more events, welcoming new members and building on our position as a champion for the amazing range of businesses Shrewsbury has to offer.”
We’d also like to take this opportunity to thank Kevin Lockwood for his eight years as Chairman. During his time in the role, Kevin helped strengthen our position as an independent voice for local businesses, while building valuable relationships and creating opportunities for our members to connect, learn and contribute to the future of Shrewsbury.
We’re delighted that Kevin will continue to be involved with the Chamber as President, allowing us to benefit from his experience and knowledge as we move forward.
“It’s been a privilege to be the Shrewsbury Business Chamber Chairman for the last 8 years, I now have the honour of handing over the baton to Estaban. Estaban brings a wealth of experience and knowledge of running multiple businesses and will continue the ethos of the Shrewsbury Chamber – for businesses to have a voice, to learn and to prosper which has been established since 1903.”
Kevin Lockwood, President
As we welcome Estaban into the role, we’re excited about the next chapter for Shrewsbury Business Chamber and look forward to continuing to support, connect and champion our local business community.
