Federation of Small Businesses elects new person to head up local area

The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) has chosen Liz Katz to head up the group’s local grassroots lobbying activity.

Liz, from Leamington Spa, has become the FSB Area Leader for Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull and will spearhead FSB activity in the local area.

The FSB is Britain’s biggest business representation group and Liz sees her role as being a vital one to ensure the needs of small businesses throughout Warwickshire and Coventry remain firmly on the radar of the powers-that-be.

Liz, who runs Noisegate Media, a website development and media production business said: “I’m delighted to have been appointed to this key role and want to ensure that the voice of small businesses across the Warwickshire and Coventry area is clearly heard. I look forward to working with our local members to ensure we stay at the heart of the local debate and at the forefront of business policy decision-making.”

Liz will work alongside a number of other elected FSB Area Leads throughout the West Midlands to deal with key local issues and be part of wider FSB policy discussions throughout the UK.

Mike Cherry, FSB National Chairman, said: “Volunteers are crucial to FSB’s success as it’s only by drawing on the experience of our members who run their own small businesses that FSB is able to be such a strong campaigning voice – locally and nationally.

“Therefore, I want to congratulate Liz on her new role. I know she will be a strong advocate for businesses across Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull”
