Banker joins director’s organisation IoD

BANKER Caroline Pullich of Barclays has been appointed as an Institute of Directors branch ambassador.

Experienced banker Caroline Pullich has been appointed one of the first Institute of Directors Branch Ambassadors (IBA) in Yorkshire and the Humber.

She will cover the Kirklees and Calderdale area.

The IoD’s newly-launched ambassador network brings together business leaders to promote the organisation in their area.

Ms Pullich leads Barclays Business and Corporate Bank in West Yorkshire, heading a team that serves more than 2,500 business customers with turnovers up to £40m. Prior to this, she worked for 22 years at National Westminster Bank.

Ms Pullich said: “It’s an honour to be invited to become an ambassador and I’m looking forward to representing the IoD and meeting new businesses from all sectors across the region.
“The influence and support the IoD can provide will help businesses to achieve their aspirations and promote trade at a local level.”

Jonathan Oxley, regional chairman of the IoD in Yorkshire and the Humber, said: “We are changing the way that the IoD is structured to ensure that even more business leaders can benefit from our influence and support. We are building partnerships across key industries, which include the banking sector.

“Our Ambassadors will help to shape the future of the organisation and Caroline is a strong addition to our Ambassador network across the region.”

Peter Wilkinson, director and chairman of The Scarborough Business Ambassadors, was recently announced as the IBA for North Yorkshire.
