Entrepreneur and STEM Ambassador, Shalom Lloyd is appointed to the South East Midlands Local Enterprise Partnership (SEMLEP) Board.

Shalom says, “There has never been a better time to be part of an organisation that supports upskilling, is focused on business development, funding growth and economic boost as well as fostering innovation.

“My focus on self, family, our community and environment speak to my passion for contributing to the achievement of excellence through empowerment, diversity, organisational development, transformation, driving change and making a difference.”

Shalom is the Founder and Managing Director of a successful local business, Naturally Tribal Skincare Ltd which creates innovative natural skincare products and is Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Emerging Markets Quality Trials, eQMT. Shalom’s business owner experiences gives her a real interest in the business environment and support available to businesses.
