On May 17, Gilbert McCaul, BBBA Chair, and Elena Yordanova, BBBA Trade Officer, had the honour of participating in the British Chambers of Commerce Annual International Conference in London, where they met with fellow British and overseas chambers and their members. The conference was addressed by, amongst others, Jeremy Hunt, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Andrew Bailey, the Governor of the Bank of England, and Sir Keir Starmer, the Leader of the Opposition.
The day before, on May 16, Gilbert and Elena took part in an exclusive chamber only session, with a discussion focus on how chambers can support their members in their net zero journey in the forthcoming years.
Both BBBA representatives were delighted to meet and discuss common issues with the BCC management team, and with our local chamber partners, as well as members of parliament and government officials committed to improving the business environment between the UK and the EU.
