DEBORAH Watson, Director of Lexia Media Ltd, has joined the Institute of Directors (IoD) Suffolk branch committee as Education Liaison Officer.

Ms Watson said she was “delighted” to be taking up the role.

“As a young business owner I'm acutely aware of the role that an organisation like the IoD can play in terms of local industry and opportunity,” she said.

“I also feel passionate about sharing my experience with the next generation of business leaders in Suffolk and want them to be encouraged to learn more about the Institute of Directors and its people.”

IoD Suffolk branch chair Tim Ryan said: “We are fortunate to have a very hard working and dedicated committee of people making the Suffolk branch the success it is.

“By bringing Deborah on board we can look to extend the reach of the branch in terms of liaising with the broad education sector, as well as raising the profile of continued professional development amongst our existing members.”
