THE CEO of a Loughborough company has been elected chair of the local Chamber of Commerce's International Trade Forum.
Dr Nik Kotecha, of Morningside Pharmaceuticals in Pavilion Way, was appointed on July 1.
He replaces Ruth Walker who was chair of the Forum since 2007.
It is the first step in a revamp which will see the Forum more closely aligned with the work of the Global Chambers initiative, which aims to drive international trade.
Dr Kotecha said: "I'm delighted to have been given this opportunity to help Chamber members improve and expand their export activities."
