14:5766015I write in response to item 2 on this thread.
Most mature businesses employ a protocol regarding press releases. The Dover Chamber of Commerce is no exception to this. It is the case that the Chamber did not deny anyone the right to submit articles to the press. However, when an article is written for or on behalf of the Chamber for publication, such copy is required to be approved by the CEO. This is to ensure that the copy is fully endorsed by the Chamber. Such protocols are important and are recognised by quality enterprises as being crucial. Any claim that submitting articles to the press has been denied does not represent the facts. There is a reputational and factual risk in allowing press release without due process.

15:0666016I write again in response to Item 2 on this thread.
Without Prejudice.
The truth is often modified for ulterior motives. I am accused of sacking a certain individual.
Fact. I did not. He was not. I had no such authority. He left a meeting in a moment of pique refusing to sign a contract. The lies that have been spread on this matter are malicious and have damaged my reputation. That is untenable for me and will be resolved in the fullness of time.

15:5266017Alan, firstly, many thanks for your recent contributions.
Item #26 - agreed, this is common practice in commerical or public facing organisations. There are obvious legal risks attached to press releases and circumspection and CEO approval is naturally required. I would hope all execs, senior or otherwise, would know and understand this.
Item #27 - you may be right, but I reckon least said soonest mended. Sadly the participants in this affair probably feel differently, but it serves no purpose for the rest of us. We have moved on.
If I may make a personal observation regarding the current incumbent of said post, what are they actually doing for Dover? I witness no evidence of progress or planning for progress. It might help us all if we could see some manifestation of effort on our town's behalf and thst may go some way to amending the current public perception of Dover CoC.

16:1266019Quality comments Sid.
I am aware of a huge amount of planning and admin that was undertaken by DBS in support of the Dover Market initiative, so credit where it is due on that. The Dover Chamber web site has also been substantially improved and this again was almost exclusively down to the DBS incumbent. Whereas visibilty may be less than before, energy and output has not been.

19:1566055welcome to the forum alan, just one point on your last post.
i believe that visibility is important so that the work being done is understood by the public and businesses.
dover seems to have a problem in general with publicising events and happenings, the district council get a lot of flak over it.
over the past year the chamber seems to have made itself more public and then suddenly gone back into it's shell, not just my view but many others.
