Hutt Valley Chamber of Commerce Staff

		David Kiddey Chief Executive David joined Hutt Valley Chamber in March 2007 with a background in business consultancy and economic development. He thinks that the Chamber has a great team of board, staff and members and he enjoys working as part of it. He is also CEO of CBD Plus and Business Hutt Valley, a joint venture with the Chamber. David is the Chamber’s in-house business advisor and is available to talk to members about their business needs. When he’s not at work, David’s interests are heritage, travel and classic cars, particularly Jaguars (some people think he’s a bit obsessed about Jaguars). For relaxation he plays squash (badly), reads and listens to music. He makes occasional visits to the gym and has been known to climb the stairs to the office (although not lately).
