The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) has appointed a new chair for the South West.
Lee Nathan, whose creative design agency Studiovine has offices in Plymouth and Bristol, will look after an area stretching from Cornwall to Gloucestershire.
Lee, aged 35, is now the youngest FSB regional chair in the country.
He will work alongside a number of elected FSB area leads throughout the wider region to deal with local issues, support event activity and be part of wider FSB policy discussions throughout the UK.
He said: “I’m delighted to have been appointed to this key role and I hope the fact that I am in my 30s sends a positive and clear sign that the FSB is a forward-thinking organisation determined to do everything to help and support our members whatever their background or business.
“I look forward to working with our excellent South West regional team and our local members throughout this area to ensure we stay at the heart of the local debate and at the forefront of business policy decision-making.”
Lee moved from Devon to Bristol last year.
