Chester is client relationships director at the Birmingham-based digital marketing agency and has more than 30 years' experience delivering business solutions across a range of sectors.

His role focuses on business development, account management and building long-term client partnerships.

He has worked closely with Midland Mencap since 2025, helping the charity strengthen its recruitment strategy and develop a new careers platform.

Midland Mencap campaigns for accessible and inclusive services and a better quality of life for people with learning disabilities and additional needs.

Employing more than 400 people, the charity provides a range of housing and care services, including individual tenancies for around 120 people.

The appointment, which is a voluntary role, comes as Midland Mencap continues to modernise its operations and strengthen engagement with employees, service users and stakeholders.

Chester Boothe said: “Having worked closely with Midland Mencap on its digital transformation and recruitment strategy, I have a genuine understanding of both its mission and the strategic challenges it faces as it scales.

“I want to bring a commercially minded, external perspective to the board - supporting strategic decision-making and ensuring Midland Mencap's ambitions are matched by the operational capability to deliver them.”

CEO of Midland Mencap, Dave Rogers, said: “Chester's expertise and insight will be a valuable addition to our board, helping to guide Midland Mencap through the next phase of its strategic development and growth.”
