Watton Rotary welcomes it's first Corporate Member

Local plastics engineers Bowles & Walker Ltd have successfully applied for Corporate membership of the Rotary Club.

President Andrew Barwood presents a  Rotary members badge to his son Michael Barwood.

At a meeting of the Rotary Club in October 2025, history was made when we inducted our first Corporate Member, Bowles and Walker Ltd, plastic injection specialists of Watton. Our President, Andrew Barwood is Managing Director of the company and his son Michael will represent the company as a 'Designated Employee' at Rotary meetings and events.

Corporate Membership of Rotary provides a way for companies to engage in community service and professional development, while offering flexibility for employees to fit Rotary activities around their work, family and social commitments. The designated employees of the Company can attend Rotary meetings, serve on projects and hold club offices.

Besides community engagement and employee development, Corporate Membership of Rotary can enhance a company's public and reputation and offers access to a network of local business professionals and mentors.

We would welcome contact from any other local business or organisation to discuss Corporate Membership.
