Rutland Chamber of Commerce appoints Ben Hovell-Boulton, as the new Membership Experience Executive

Rutland Chamber of Commerce are delighted to announce the recent recruitment of Ben Hovell-Boulton, as the new Membership Experience Executive. Ben has become a crucial member of the team already as we support Rutland businesses to come together, make connections, share knowledge, and grow!

Rutland Chamber of Commerce was formed as part of Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce, which has been supporting businesses for over 130 years. Together, both Chamber of Commerce organisations aim to support businesses across the two counties. This is accomplished through a variety of events and networking opportunities, marketing support, workshops, signposting opportunities, International Trade support and much more.

Ben joins the Chamber team from GOTO Events, where he worked as Event Manager. This involved working collaboratively with businesses and attendees to manage a range of events all over the country, which included working alongside smaller organisations and larger companies, such as Mercedes-Benz Group, Go Compare and the England women’s national football team, the Lionesses!

Ben brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience in Business Development and Support, Customer Service, and Strategic Planning. From his time at GOTO Events, Ben has regularly experienced meeting new people, exceeding expectations and putting the client first. Going forwards, his skills will be essential in growing both Rutland and Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce, whilst ensuring members receive the best quality and service.

In his new role as Membership Experience Executive, Ben will work closely with the membership team, including Paul and Oliver, to engage with existing and new members, ensuring they’re getting the most out of their membership. Ben’s role will see a closer working relationship with members and provide a better understanding of their requirements, ultimately improving their experience and ensure they maximise the benefits, connections, and opportunities available.

Ben commented “I strongly believe that Rutland Chamber of Commerce is heading in an exciting direction, and as the company continues to grow and develop, it will provide businesses within the county the necessary support, guidance, and opportunities to grow and succeed, and I’m honoured to be part of this. I look forward to collaborating with the team to plan and deliver various campaigns, benefits, and events that will assist our members”.

“I am delighted to have been given the opportunity to join both Rutland and Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce. It is my primary goal to make sure all members, no matter the size or sector, receive the best experience possible from their membership with us!”
