South London Business' chief executive David Main is encouraging people to apply to become his successor when he retires at the end of the year.

Mr Main is closing the curtain on his five-year reign at the helm of the business support group and says he is proud of what he and his team have achieved.

"I've been here for five years and enjoyed every minute of it. I'm pleased with SLB's growth into a substantial organisation that represents the interests of businesses throughout south London.

"Stepping into my role would be a great opportunity for someone with experience in business and I would encourage anyone who thinks they have the credentials to take this organisation further to step up to the challenge."
