Barbadians must pursue the legacy of continuous progress. As Barbadians seek to be truly masters of their own destiny we must seek to realise fulfillment for all of our people. Not just a few can be facilitated and depended upon for real economic growth and development of the society. We need a new focus on the development of industries to truly provide opportunities for all.
AMBROSE GROSVENOR is a retired change leader who formerly held senior roles in two commercial banks where he worked for several years. He played pivotal roles in the biggest consolidation of the banking industry in the Caribbean, and once held the world’s most prestigious project management certification. He designed, built and implemented several management information systems in several Caribbean states to reengineer operations resulting in great efficiencies.
Ambrose represented Sydney Cricket Club, a club based in his hometown of Sweet Bottom - called Sweet Vale today. Ambrose has had a long association with voluntary work in and outside of St. George. He was a member of the St. Augustine Church Anglican Young People Association as well as the Calvary Moravian Church youth group. He is a past president of a PTA.
Later, he joined the St. George North District Emergency Organisation and co-led the effort to bring early attention to the risks the Giant African Snail present. Also in his capacity as secretary of that said organization, he co-led the convening of a Town Hall meeting attended by experts on the matter of flooding in Charles Rowe Bridge.
Ambrose is a past secretary of a commercial bank’s manager’s division of the Barbados Workers’ Union.
An early retiree, Ambrose turned his efforts to his family and his community and wishes now to expand that community role as representative of St. George North. He played major roles in the last two national election campaigns including leading the United Progressive Party’s in 2018.
To this end, he convened a discussion in 2019 on the potential and challenges of small businesses. The three panelists founded and lead successful businesses in St. George North. This was extremely well attended. (See photograph at right)
Ambrose holds a Bachelor’s degree in accounting from UWI, Cave Hill. He is married, and like his wife has always lived in St. George. He is the father of two and grandfather of two. He and his wife both worship at the Wobourne Wesleyan Holiness in Flat Rock, St. George where he continues to hold the post of treasurer, a post that he has had for the for the past several consecutive years. He has been a member of the church’s board of management for an even longer period.
In the community of Flat Rock, he is especially regarded for leading the church’s effort to work with National Housing Corporation to establish and maintain the park in the community of Flat Rock at the church’s expense. He is also known for launching the well-supported Community Day and Sports Day programmes there.
The United Progressive Party contested its first General Election on May 24, 2018 with modest results. In fact the incumbent Government won all 30 of the contested seats. A first for Barbados! We in the UPP believe that we contributed significantly to the debate and we can see that some of our manifesto pledges have been adopted by the current Government. The good news - we are here to stay and will continue our dialogue with you.
There is room to fashion a new democracy in Barbados. We have learnt how to cast our vote but not what to do between elections. We will help to shape a democracy where many voices can be heard and not just a few. We need to educate our people as to what they should demand and how they can demand it from those who should represent their interests. We would like you to help us shape that new democracy and would love for you to join us.
Unlike other political parties which seek to make its members dependent on its patronage for their survival. This party aims to make Barbadians strong so that we can better and more ably participate in our democracy. Often people can not speak out for what is in their own interest because they are afraid of losing what they do have. This is why the Party will focus on developing the life skills of our members and our people. Strong people will help to shape a strong democracy.
