Welcome Back Emily!
Our International Trade team has expanded once more as we welcome back Emily Habermel-Pearce from maternity leave. Emily, temporarily, hung up her International Trade Officer duties last September but she’s back and raring to go after the birth of her beautiful baby girl.
Having been with the Chambers since 2016, many of you will know Emily and will join us in welcoming her back into her next chapter as a working mother.
Emily commented on her return saying “It’s great to back, in fact it feels like I’ve never left. I’m excited to be back as part of the team and get stuck into helping our customers with their international trade needs.”
Our International Trade Manager, Angela Turner, commented on Emily’s return saying “I’ve worked with Emily for 8 years and I am delighted to have her back in the department.

It’s great to have the team complete again to offer assistance and support to those trading internationally.”
