North Tyneside Business Forum appoints new leaders
The North Tyneside Business Forum, a community-focused organisation supported by North Tyneside Council, has appointed two local business owners to key leadership roles.
Angela Tuplin, who runs NE Display in Chirton Industrial Estate, takes on the role of chair, while Chris Wilson, owner of the Square and Compass Bar in Whitley Bay, steps in as vice chair.
Angela and Chris take over from outgoing chair Michael James, of NE1 Web Design, as well as outgoing vice chair Sangeeta Loomba, who runs Namaste: A Taste of India at Newcastle Quays Outlet Centre.
Angela said: “I’m honoured to take on the role of chair and to continue the brilliant work of the Forum in championing local businesses.
“North Tyneside is full of entrepreneurial talent, and I’m passionate about helping those businesses grow and thrive through collaboration, support and shared opportunities.”
Chris added: “As a business owner and an operations manager at Network Plus, I know how valuable it is to have a platform like the Forum to turn to for advice, networking, and development.
“I’m excited to work alongside Angela and the wider team to make a real difference for businesses across the borough.”
Reflecting on his time as chair, Michael added: “It’s been a privilege to work with such a dedicated team of business owners, and I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together.
“The Forum has gone from strength to strength, and I know Angela and Chris will bring fresh ideas and energy to continue that momentum.”
The Forum supports businesses across the borough by fostering growth, innovation and networking opportunities.
Its management group represents a wide range of sectors and helps guide the organisation’s activities.
The new leadership team will soon lead the North Tyneside Business Awards on November 20 at the Village Hotel, Cobalt Business Park, providing local companies with the chance to highlight their achievements.
Membership in the Forum remains free and open to all North Tyneside businesses.
