Dear Members,
Following the UK Parliament's vote in favour of EU withdrawal, and after the publication of a Brexit White Paper which sets out Theresa May's plans for Brexit, negotiations could begin very soon.
Thus, the Chamber is launching a Brexit Forum, chaired by Angela Hepworth, Corporate Policy and Regulation Director at EDF Energy and Neil Sherlock, Head of Reputational Strategy at PwC, to provide a setting for members to share ideas and discuss the practical implications of Brexit.
Do not miss our Member-to-Member Cocktail and Exhibition next week (9 March). This year's edition is being hosted at a fresh new venue in trendy east London, at the fashionable Ligne Roset Showroom. Over refreshments and canapés, participants will be able to network, discover their fellow members and ultimately test their luck to win exceptional prizes such as two Ligne Roset lamps or a bread-making masterclass for two at PAUL, among others. The event will also launch our Member Offers for 2017: a great way to find new partners and save money!
More than 100 participants and 15 exhibitors have already registered, so if you haven't yet done so, I would strongly encourage you to book your ticket or a stand to showcase your products and services to your fellow members.
Finally, we wish to congratulate Frenger International on winning the 2017 Intercultural Trophy, sponsored by AXA, last Thursday.
Best regards,
Florence Gomez,
Managing Director
