Norfolk Chambers of Commerce board member, Glen Webster, Business Banking Regional Manager at Barclays has recently stepped down after serving on the board for four years. Glen shares the passions of the Chambers and has the same desire to assist and promote local businesses for the greater good of the local economy. Glen supported the Chambers with many events including flagship events and has been very supportive of kick-starting the Business Climate Leaders programme. We asked Glen a few questions about his time on the board: Where do you feel you made the biggest difference? Connecting businesses to each other or to key contacts within the chamber or other support networks – it was always about who could help them realise their ambitions. What are your plans going forward within the business community? I hope to continue to support businesses through my day job at Barclays and also through a continued close alliance with Norfolk Chambers and all the services and support they offer. How does your role at Barclays help the Norfolk business community? My team and I seek to be partners in growth with local SMEs by supporting them directly through the many services we provide and increasingly through partners and signposting local organisations and individuals who can be of benefit. Nova Fairbank, Chief Executive of Norfolk Chambers says, “It has been a pleasure having Glen on the Norfolk Chambers Board. He has brought a wealth of experience and enthusiasm. Glen and Barclays have supported business engagement across Norfolk. Having served his term on the Board, Glen has now stepped down, but we look forward to continuing our strong working relationship with Glen and Barclays.”
