Cornwall Chamber of Commerce has announced that former Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Robin Teverson has been appointed as a patron. Baron Teverson of Tregony is also a Liberal Democrat peer.
Lord Teverson said it was a "real privilege" to become the chamber's patron - and he admired its work.
“The chamber brings together businesses throughout the county and is so often a part of their success. It is great at helping keep everybody ahead in a fast-changing world," he said.
