Mr. Neil Franks
General Manager
Glencore Singapore Pte Ltd
Pianist

This General Manager of Glencore Singapore Pte Ltd, one of the largest global oil trading firms is a graduate of Guildhall School of Music in London. But having decided that music should be a hobby and not a full-time career, Neil joined Glencore in the late 70s, and was transferred to Singapore in 1982.

The business of the company here covers the Middle East and whole Asia-Pacific region, which keeps him on the road quite a lot of the time.

The committed family man also spends what spare time he has with his three children and gathering with a group of friends to play the piano in 4 and 8-hands recitals, which allows him to enjoy playing and socializing around music at the same time.
