Descripción del evento
About the event. An opportunity to gain a first-hand perspective from Dame Carolyn Fairbairn, and discuss the impact of Brexit on Spain-UK bilateral business relations, the interests of British companies who operate in Spain, and the role of business organisations in giving a voice to businesses in situations such as the current uncertainty regarding the different Brexit scenarios.
About Carolyn. Carolyn Fairbairn joined the CBI as Director-General of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) in November 2015. Her career spans a range of leadership roles in business, media and government, with particular experience in the finance and broadcasting sectors.

She has also held senior roles in broadcasting. As BBC Director of Strategy, she led the BBC’s digital strategy and in 2003 designed and launched Freeview, one of the UK’s most successful TV services.

Para un despacho como EJASO ETL GLOBAL, con una clara vocación internacional, comenzar a colaborar con la British Chamber ha sido el mejor de los aciertos. Nos posibilita estrechando relaciones con compañías británicas ubicadas en España y, al mismo tiempo, es una magnífica carta de presentación para todas aquellas empresas españolas que tienen intereses en Reino Unido.
Visibilidad, networking, aprendizaje, posibilidades de negocio… No hay evento que haya organizado la Britsh Chamber que nos haya resultado indiferente sino todo lo contrario
A quick look at the list of members shows that we have had commercial dealings with about 30 of our co-members in that time. The mutual membership of the Chamber has provided us with a great platform to talk. It gives people the opportunity to know you and trust you. We have also taken the opportunity to sponsor various successful Chamber events and increase our brand visibility, as well as speaking to many decision makers in business and government. Hays has now joined the British Chamber in nearly all of the 33 countries from which we operate. The cost of annual corporate membership is a lot lower than a single advert in most media and in my opinion we get a tremendous return on investment. Apart from which, I enjoy it!
