to our new staff T
he expanding workload has resulted in a significant increase in new faces at Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, while others have switched internally to new roles and responsibilities. In the sphere of International
Certification, a key part of the Chamber’s work, the department has taken on four new staff to look after documentation. Amy McSwiggan started in
September 2018 after graduating in Psychology and Social Studies at the University of Glasgow. This is her first step on the career ladder as an International Certification Executive at the Chamber. Meanwhile Ettore Viscontini,
also working in the International Certification team, is a recent start with previous experience as an export agent in Milan for air freight customer services. This involved the preparation of customers’ documents, checking certification, including certificates of origin and the declaration of dangerous goods.
Joining them are Rebecca Graham and Emma Gravestock as International
Certification Administration Assistants, both of whom are working towards their certification exams which are set by the British Chambers of Commerce. The Chamber is also delighted
to welcome two new members of staff to the Developing the Young Workforce Glasgow team. Dr Nicola Crawford joins as the new Programme Director and Juliet Dempster as Programme Manager. Nicola brings 18 years’ experience
of the further education sector and is well-known for developing and delivering innovative programmes to empower and recognise skills in young people. Nicola was the Faculty Director of Nautical Studies at City of Glasgow College and was the first female non-seafarer to lead a nautical college. During her tenure, Glasgow became the preferred training destination for many international shipping companies and new pathways were created to allow young people to serve in the Merchant Navy. Juliet Dempster worked within the third sector for over 20 years delivering positive outcomes for young people and ex-offenders. Formerly at Prince’s Trust, she worked in partnership with
schools, colleges, universities, employers and local authorities.
On the membership front, Sarah
Heaney, a well-known face at Chamber events, has moved into a new role as a Membership Executive and she has been joined by Nicole Harrington. Prior to joining the Chamber, Nicole worked in marketing and was also a business development consultant for a number of other membership organisations. Completing the membership team is Mhairi Duncan, Senior Business Development Manager, who arrived at the Chamber last May. Jennifer McLeod has joined as
Events and Professional Development Executive from her previous role as Events Assistant at the Lighthouse, where she worked for three years. Stuart Patrick, the Chamber’s Chief
Executive, said: “We welcome our new members of staff who are all here to help improve services to our members. It’s great to be able to take on young people for whom this is the first step on the career ladder, and to bring in others with much wider professional experience. We hope they find that the Chamber is a great place to work and highly values their contribution.”
