Beth is looking to the Future
Double award winner Beth Farminer has outlined her future aspirations after being crowned the Future Face of Greater Birmingham. The business management COO at the Birmingham office of Deutsche Bank was
the big winner at last month’s annual Future Faces awards dinner at Edgbaston Stadium. She was named the Future Face of Professional Services, as well as the picking up the main Future Face of Greater Birmingham prize. As part of her role at Deutsche Bank, Beth develops and communicates business
targets, as well as supplying the firm’s leadership team with regular and accurate information. Helping employees develop and improve is a big part of her job and she will be sharing tips with Future Faces members as part of the Leadership Series in 2017. “Efficiency improvements are an important part of progressing forward in any
industry, so I would like to share my experience in identifying improvement areas with Future Faces members,” said Beth. “I teach Lean Awareness at Deutsche Bank and will be adapting the course to fit
an interactive and engaging session as part of the Leadership Series run by Future Faces early in 2017. “Teaching is a primary motivation for me and the greatest success is when
attendees action their own improvements. I’ve found that employee involvement can have a significant impact on motivation. “I’ve found that Future Faces offers employees a wonderful opportunity
because training and development programmes can increase motivation and job satisfaction, enabling employees to progress within the organisation, whilst building out their network. “As employees gain new skills and knowledge they also become a
greater asset to the organisation, so I would encourage both employees and companies to consider Future Faces as part of their career development programme.” Beth’s success at Deutsche Bank came on the back of a drastic
career change. Having completed an Electromechanical Engineering degree at Aston University, she took two years out to focus on management. After returning to university to complete a Masters course, Beth
opted for a new career in the financial sector with Deutsche Bank, where she has worked for the last seven years. She says Future Faces has played a big part in her success story. “I would like to thank Future Faces for the opportunities and
confidence they have given me to progress in my career,” she added. “The development events have greatly helped me in my career and the social events have built up my confidence and completely changed how I approach challenges.”

Winners secure trade deals
Sixty young professionals became traders for an evening at an event organised by Future Faces, hosted by Paul Anderson, head of Deutsche Bank’s Birmingham office. The trading game required swift decision-making based on news items released during the game
which could have had an impact on trading prices and a knock-on effect in the markets. Guests were formed into teams to take on different aspects in the trading life cycle, across six
timed rounds, each corresponding to a year of production in trading. The winning team managed to turn £40,000 in to over £6 million.
