THE new treasurer of a town’s Chamber of Commerce says he will turn it around from being a loss-making organisation.
The Berkhamsted club made a loss of £1,648.64 in the last financial year and were down £2,484.07 the one before that.
Fred Harrison, who became its treasurer a month ago, said: “There’s something wrong that we are just not doing.
“We need to be more proactive to make more money if we are going to survive.
“It will take a long time for the chamber to turn around its losses, but I think it will as the losses are just not big.”
Although the chamber has about 70 members at the moment, Mr Harrison said there must be four-or five-hundred businesses in Berkhamsted.
Speaking after its annual meeting, he said: “You can see that we need to do more from the number of people who turned up tonight.”
He said there were around 12 people there – and four or five of them were members of its committee.
