East of England International (EEI), the organisation that helps businesses export and assists foreign-owned companies to set up in the region, is delighted to announce that Brian Hayland has joined the organisation as Head of Business Development.
Brian’s new role will be as part of the inward investment function, and he will spearhead the team looking to secure foreign businesses to invest in the region, and to assist them when they arrive.
Prior to joining EEI, Brian built a career spanning over 20 years with Barclays Commercial Banking, where the latter half of his time there was spent focusing entirely on helping businesses expand and succeed outside their domestic territories.
More recently, in his role as Head of the Barclays Inward Investment team, Brian supported foreign businesses wishing to invest in the region. He will be bringing with him established, strong relationships with international and UK inward investment business communities which will benefit EEI and the businesses that it supports.
EEI chairman Sir Robin Young said: “I am delighted to welcome Brian to the team. His experience in helping foreign owned businesses set up in the UK will be a great asset to EEI, and as he was born and bred in the East of England he will be a great ambassador for the region.”
Brian is based in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, where he lives with his wife Claire and his two children. In his spare time, he is an avid spectator and player of rugby, football and cricket.
