Leadership dinner with Paul Thwaite, CEO of NatWest Group plc

FWB recently co-hosted a leadership dinner with our friends at NatWest Group. Held in the board room at the Royal Bank of Scotland’s flagship branch 36 St Andrew Square, a group of experienced senior leaders representing Scotland and the wider UK’s key businesses, public and third sector organisations came together for a discussion which was led by Paul Thwaite, NatWest Group CEO.

Throughout his executive and non-executive career, Paul has taken an active role in promoting talent, and building and leading inclusive teams across multiple regions, geographies and disciplines, to deliver performance for customers and wider stakeholders. He spoke about several recent developments across the group as well as the UK economy and linked this to the opportunities and challenges within the Scottish ecosystem. The discussion that ensued created useful insights and provocation.

Adam Brown, Director at FWB commented “Whilst there is no doubt that the UK economy faces challenges in the coming months, Scotland remains a fantastic place to do business, through its highly networked, talented and ambitious business landscape. We remain optimistic about the opportunities ahead. As ever, we are grateful to our friends at NatWest Group and Royal Bank of Scotland for their partnership in delivering high quality events that add great value to the Scottish ecosystem.”
