Chairman’s letter.July 2025I was elected as Chairman at the AGM in June this year. I had only recently joined the BWC Committee so I am still finding my feet, but I hope that during my tenure as Chairman I will be able to assist the Committee in developing the programme of events to involve more members.I spent almost my whole career with Philips Electronics. Working in the Components and Semiconductor divisions I was involved in business to business sales to global customers in particular Japanese and Korean television set manufacturers. My last UK role was MD for the Components activity. I then moved to Eindhoven to perform senior global roles.On returning to the UK in 2003 I became more involved in the Worshipful Company of Scientific Instrument Makers. I was Master in 2011/12. A great year with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics.I look forward to meeting you.Kind regards, Keith Etherington
Chairman’s Message 30/05/2024
As you will know, we sadly lost our Chairman, John Gavin in January this year. Those who knew him are feeling his loss deeply. I stepped in as Chairman from Deputy and am most certainly learning the ropes as I go along, however I am enjoying getting more involved in the city’s events and bringing people together to help build and strengthen Bridge Ward Club.
A little bit about my background, I am a Financial Planner in the City and I work with mainly private clients to help build their financial plans to support their longer term goals, whether that be assisting with retirement, inheritance tax planning or generation wealth transfers. I often travel to meet clients however my base is the city and it has been great to see a real buzz come back following Covid.
The charity which I have nominated this year is Headway – The Brain Injury Association, which is a cause close to my family.
We are really looking forward to bolstering the events we have this year, including a visit to Hatton Garden, our annual Carol Concert and …
Our Annual General Meeting is on June 18th 2024. We would really like to see more people get involved with the club so please do invite friends and family to our events and speak to myself or one of the other members if you would like to get involved with the committee.
Thank you for your support and I look forward to seeing you over the coming year.
Ellie Armson
