LESA BENT - LEADING IN THE COMMUNITY

Lesa Bent, Branch Manager at H&L Rapid True Value Mandeville, is the new Director, Marketing Communications at the Manchester Chamber of Commerce. Lesa will bring her many years of experience at H&L to the role of promoting the chamber and being its liaison with other chambers throughout the country.

Having started out as a Team Leader at the Mandeville branch before being promoted to assistant manager and then branch manager, Lesa is ready to take on the additional responsibilities of being the face of H&L in the community.

As a chamber member, H&L supports community events and participates in meetings. When the chamber held its AGM recently, Lesa was elected to the post of director of marketing and communications. Although it is an additional responsibility, Lesa says it will have a positive impact since the H&L name will be more visible, with her repping in the community at fund-raisers and events. “As someone born and bred in Mandeville, this is something I am honoured to do,” she says.
