THE Deputy Chief Executive of Bolton and Bury Chamber, Mark Lloyd, is on the move.

Mr Lloyd, aged 31, will be the country's youngest Training and Enterprise Council Chief Executive when he takes up the job at County Durham TEC and Business Link in May.

He said: "I will be applying many of the valuable lessons learned here at Bolton and Bury Chamber to my new role.

"I have seen the value of building effective partnerships at all levels within the community and hope to do the same in the North-east."

Mr Lloyd began his fast-track career with the Department of Employment - treading the corridors of Whitehall - before joining the TEC movement in 1990.
