Jamie Christon, CEO of Chester Zoo, the UK’s most visited paid attraction outside of London has been named the new chair of Marketing Cheshire’s Advisory Board with a pledge to continue the improvement and growth of tourism across Cheshire and Warrington. Stepping into the role in April, Jamie will succeed Cheshire entrepreneur Trevor Brocklebank, chair of the Marketing Cheshire Board since 2020. Jamie Christon said: “I’m delighted to take on the role. I will bring my experience and passion for the place, and work with partners to promote Cheshire and Warrington as one of the best destinations in the UK. “We have incredible attractions across the region, amazing hospitality and a hugely warm welcome. Our location means we are well placed to work closer with Liverpool, Manchester and North Wales to attract more overseas visitors. “I’m also very aware of the challenges our visitor economy businesses are facing, not least rising costs and competition. But there are big opportunities ahead and I look forward to working with the board, and the small but mighty team at Marketing Cheshire, to grow tourism across the region. “And I’d also like to pay tribute to the leadership our outgoing chair Trevor provided during a hugely turbulent time for the visitor economy and wish him every success for the future.” Jamie Christon DL, Trevor Brocklebank | Chester Zoo #tourism #visitoreconomy #visitcheshire #cheshire
