About Barclays Group
Barclays is a major global financial services provider. Our aim is to provide products and services that help our customers and clients achieve their goals in life.
As well as banking for personal and business customers, we offer wealth management, asset management and investment banking services.
Our strategy is to achieve good growth through time by diversifying our business base and increasing our presence in markets and segments that are growing rapidly. In 2007 this strategy generated £7.1 billion profit before tax.
Active in more than 50 countries and employing 147,000 people, we move, lend, invest and protect money for more than 42 million customers and clients worldwide. We do so through nine Business Units, grouped into two Clusters: Global Retail and Commercial Banking (GRCB), and Investment Banking and Investment Management (IBIM).
These businesses are supported by several key Group functions including Finance, Risk, Legal and Compliance.
