FSB Chief Executive Julie Lilley said: “Congratulations to all the Board of Directors. FSB is a proudly member-led organisation and all our elected member leaders have one thing in common – they all own and run businesses.
"Our members lead from the front, working closely with a strong team of expert staff. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with the Board to deliver FSB’s corporate objectives which will help smaller businesses to achieve their ambitions.
“Small businesses are facing many challenges at this time, not least the uncertainty around the UK’s planned departure from the European Union. Ensuring that they have a strong voice that is heard in governments at all levels has never been more critical, alongside giving them access to the best services and benefits.”
