Cribbin Motors operations and marketing manager Martin Blencowe is the new president of the Moss Vale Chamber of Commerce.
Mr Blencowe was elected unopposed after former president Geoff Hosey stepped down at the annual general meeting on Monday evening.
Mr Hosey will remain on the committee as vice-president.
Mr Blencowe said the focus of the chamber over the coming year would be to give businesses a voice to raise issues with local government and to act as a marketing platform for Moss Vale businesses.
"I'm very vocal for shopping locally and that is going to be a focus - bringing opportunity to Moss Vale, be it by tourism or be it by creating an atmosphere locally we can all benefit from," he said.
