Nick Bamber - Vice-Chair

My family and I moved to Brize Norton in 2020 and live on the Brize Meadow development. Having grown up in a small village, Brize Norton immediately appealed to us because of its strong sense of community and village character.

I work as in-house legal counsel for a motorsport governing body, and can often be found at race circuits around the country. 

When I'm not at a motorsport event, I'm usually indulging my other sporting passions (watching or playing), cooking or performing taxi duties for the children.

I am keen to play an active role in supporting our community and helping Brize Norton remain a welcoming and thriving place for its current and future residents.
