Brody, who has been a recognisable voice across the Midlands on both commercial and BBC local radio for more than 30 years, will be in charge of proceedings when the Chamber welcomes guests to this year’s event on Thursday, November 20.
The professionally trained toastmaster and proud member of the Circle of Toastmasters brings extensive experience hosting prestigious festivals, black-tie awards, civic events and charity fundraisers across the UK, always delivering his trademark humour, integrity and authenticity.
Brody said: “I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to be hosting this year’s Black Country Chamber Business Awards at The Halls in Wolverhampton.
“As both a proud Chamber member and a proper Black Country local, this feels like the perfect homecoming! I travel all over the UK hosting events, but there’s nothing quite like doing it on your own patch.
“The Black Country business community is incredibly vibrant and innovative, and I can’t wait to celebrate all the brilliant achievements we’ll be recognising on the night. It’s going to be a fantastic evening showcasing the very best of what makes our region so unique and special.”
The Black Country Chamber Business Awards are the region’s biggest celebration of the business community, recognising the achievements of companies and individuals doing business in Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton.
Black Country Chamber of Commerce chief executive Sarah Moorhouse said: “We are delighted to have Brody as our host when we celebrate the very best of the Black Country’s business scene. His wealth of broadcasting and event hosting experience, combined with his natural ability to engage with audiences, makes him the perfect choice to lead our awards ceremony.
“With entries now closed and judging underway, we look forward to Brody helping us honour the success stories of our region at what promises to be another memorable evening.”
Tickets for the event are now on sale priced from £135 each, which includes a three-course dinner, entertainment and the opportunity to network with the Black Country’s leading businesses. To secure yours, visit blackcountrychamber.co.uk
