Although the event, hosted by the Barnsley and Rotherham Chamber of Commerce, primarily acknowledges the diverse efforts of the business community, there was a special salute for the NHS to recognise 75 years of service.

Matthew Stephens Chamber President: “I was pleased we could make a heartfelt salute to the NHS, celebrating 75 years of service. Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust, your dedication to the well-being of our region is invaluable.”

While honoured on the evening, the ‘President’s Salute to Business’ certificate was presented to Deputy Chief Executive of The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust last week, at a business breakfast event held at Rotherham Hospital and hosted by Rotherham Hospital and Community Charity.

The event brings together local businesses for networking and identifying opportunities for them to support their local NHS charity. 

Michael said: “It’s an honour to have accepted this certificate on behalf of The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust. We are incredibly proud to be a part of this milestone year for the NHS, which also marks 45 years of Rotherham Hospital. 

“Thank you to Matthew and all at the Barnsley and Rotherham Chamber of Commerce for recognising the contribution of the NHS to the local community.”
