Three business figures have been appointed ambassadors of the Kent branch of the Institute of Directors as it looks to strengthen its team.

The organisation for business directors appoints ambassadors to connect with parts of its membership and provide a local voice.

It has now appointed Stacey Winter of IT vendor Maxima Consulting ambassador for inclusion and diversity.

Chartered accountant Michael Bax becomes ambassador for sustainability which Kieran Bevan of Triflex Productions has been appointed ambassador for manufacturing.

Kent IoD chair Nigel Earnshaw said: “I’m delighted to see our team of ambassadors growing with these latest appointments.

"Each brings with them a wealth of experience in their sector which will prove valuable as we support directors to build back and recover from the pandemic and face up to emerging global and domestic challenges.”
