New Faces
New faces at Glasgow Chamber
Four more friendly faces have joined the Chamber staff and they are all delighted to be informing and helping members get the best out of their Chamber membership
Award from the Principal. Working across both Circular Glasgow
and DYW Glasgow, Sophie supports the team with administrative help and is most likely to be the first person you’ll speak to when contacting the team. “My favourite thing about working here is seeing the impact our support and advice has on businesses and young people. It makes work a pleasure,” she says.
Rachel Grant, the new Digital Content Lead, working with both DYW Glasgow and the wider Chamber team, is at the forefront of keeping members up-to- speed with events, news and activities. If you follow the Chamber on Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram or Facebook, Rachel is likely to be behind disseminating the content. She previously worked at 200 SVS, the Glasgow events venue, and started work with the Chamber in November 2019. “I hope to bring together and promote
all the exciting work that the Chamber is involved with and maximise the Chamber membership through online engagement,” says Rachel, who admits to being a data geek and is comfortable with using multiple channels of engagement.
Sophie Milne joined in October 2019 as Project Associate, and it is her first full-time job after graduating from City of Glasgow College with an HND in Business, where she also received the Outstanding Academic Achievement
Meanwhile Robert Menzies, Membership Executive, is looking to ensure members get the most out of the Chamber. “I engage with businesses of all sizes, discussing membership and the benefits on offer as well as looking after existing members, helping get the most from membership to allow their business to grow,” says Robert, who previously worked in Thermo Logistics, latterly as a client account manager. Robert, who started in October 2019, is keen to meet as many Glasgow businesses as possible to tell them about the benefits of joining. “I hope to build long-term relationships with members and assist in their growth utilising the Chamber connections with a proactive approach. It’s great to bring on new members but, more importantly, to retain members through these relationships and hard work.” It’s a task which requires getting out and about across the city, something Robert relishes.
“I love speaking to people in businesses of all sizes, helping them make an impact in Glasgow.”
Seren Porteous, who joined in December 2019 as International Trade Development Executive, is immersed in helping Glasgow businesses make their mark overseas. “I work alongside companies across a variety of sectors to explore and identify new opportunities that exist in international markets. In the International Team we aim to support companies in their plans to grow and expand globally by not only connecting them with businesses across our network and city, but also by offering opportunities to participate in International Trade Missions. Seren joined from the British Heart Foundation where she was on their graduate management programme. Before this, she spent a year in Santiago, Chile, working with an international consultancy firm delivering trade missions for companies in South America. “I hope to help expand the reach of
Scottish businesses across international markets, allowing for new growth and global partnership opportunities. I love being able to work with such a diverse range of companies and I hope that I might be able to develop my passion for languages too,” says Seren.
