New Mayor keen to support local business
Cllr Humphreys spent his career in the financial services sector, mainly as an adviser, before retiring last year.
In 2012, Cllr Humphreys was elected Councillor for Banstead Ward. Since 2015, he has been Executive Member for Economic Prosperity, a role which he has been proud to hold. It has enabled him to get to know and understand the needs of our local businesses, especially during recent challenging times.
During the year ahead, the Mayor will represent the borough by attending a broad range of functions, including formal receptions and official openings, visits to local clubs, schools and community groups, and even 100th birthday celebrations. He is keen to support local businesses, so please do invite him to any events or product launches you might be planning.
