Proud to sponsor Cardiff Business Club
July 26, 2024
We are delighted to have become a season sponsor of Cardiff Business Club for the forthcoming year. This strategic partnership comes on the heels of a remarkable year of record profits for the Society, which saw unprecedented growth in the South East of Wales and along the Welsh borders. In conjunction with this sponsorship, Richard Miles, our Head of Savings & Marketing / Area Manager East Wales, has been appointed to the Cardiff Business Club Board.
We recognise the importance of fostering strong business networks and supporting the local economy. The decision to sponsor Cardiff Business Club aligns with our commitment to giving back to the business community that has been integral to our success.
Cardiff Business Club, founded in 1912, is a leading organisation of its kind in Wales. It aims to offer an environment where all their members can connect with decision makers from across the private, public and charitable sectors to support and promote their businesses.
Richard Miles will bring a wealth of experience to his new role on the Cardiff Business Club Board. With a robust background in sales and marketing, Richard has demonstrated exceptional leadership and strategic vision. His roles as a board member of Cardiff YMCA Housing Association Limited and Linc Cymru have further honed his expertise in governance and community engagement, making him a valuable asset to Cardiff Business Club.
Richard Miles, our Head of Savings & Marketing / Area Manager East, said:
“Due to expansion across the area, we thought it would be a great idea to sponsor Cardiff Business Club to allow us to contribute to the vibrant business environment in Cardiff. It is an honour to be appointed as a board member at the Business Club. I relish the opportunity to bring my deep understanding and knowledge of sales and marketing to continue developing Cardiff Business Club and to continue to give back to the local business community.”
Richard will join an illustrious panel on the Cardiff Business Club Board. This includes Club President, Baroness Grey-Thompson, who over 16 years and five Paralympic Games won eleven gold medals, three silver and one bronze, cementing her reputation as one of the most gifted sportswomen of her generation. Another famous name on the Club Board is its Secretary, Paul Thorburn, the former Neath RFC and international Wales rugby union player, who still holds the record for the longest successful kick in an international test match.
Phil Jardine, Chair of Cardiff Business Club, said:
“It is great to have Swansea Building Society to sponsor us this year. It is a privilege to have Richard join our Board due to his success with the Society in the South East Wales area. I am positive that he will be a great asset to Cardiff Business Club.”
