It is with great sadness that we report that Colin Daniels, Chief Executive of Warrington Chamber of Commerce and Industry passed away this morning.

He has been a stalwart of the business community for many years both within Warrington and the North West, and will be fondly remembered by many for his enthusiasm to support business. He also served as a Cheshire County and Warrington Borough Councillor and Chairman of the Board of Governors at Warrington College for many years.

Colin acted as Deputy Chairman on the Warrington & Co Board since its formation in 2008.

Our thoughts are with his family, who have been a source of great support to Colin in recent times as his health deteriorated.
