                                                | Dear
                                                Members and Friends
 
 My topic last week was
                                                Leadership Matters. This week I
                                                want to focus on Talent Matters.
 
 One of my colleagues retired
                                                last week after 50 years of
                                                service with the Chamber. He
                                                started off as a uniformed
                                                messenger printing circulars and
                                                delivering them to members when
                                                everything was either hand
                                                delivered or sent by post. He
                                                completed his service as a
                                                valuable member of our
                                                Certification Services Team
                                                manning our counter and helping
                                                customers and their
                                                representatives with their trade
                                                documentation needs.
 
 Throughout his career he was
                                                calm, reliable, polite and
                                                always ready to learn. His
                                                language and social skills
                                                coupled with his sense of humour
                                                made him a pleasure to deal
                                                with. His humility was another
                                                key factor in his success.
 
 These are all transferable
                                                skills whatever the nature of
                                                work. Join us on
                                                
                                                29 January when we discuss
                                                what talent matters you should
                                                be thinking about, planning for
                                                and enabling in 2021 and beyond.
                                                Why? Because talent always
                                                matters.
 
 Yours faithfully
 Victor Mills
 Chief Executive
