La British Chamber of Commerce in Spain representa un punto de encuentro que nos permite estar en contacto directo con otras multinacionales británicas en la consecución de objetivos comunes. Un foro de escucha e intercambio de ideas que, gracias a iniciativas como British Investment in Spain Committee, proporciona una mayor visibilidad a la contribución de empresas británicas como Diageo, al desarrollo económico español. Cada año, el 'Barómetro sobre clima y perpectivas de la inversión británica en España' refleja la apuesta de las empresas británicas a la hora de invertir en España, siendo el Reino Unido el cuarto inversor en nuestro país, con un 10% del total de inversiones directas.
La Cámara de Comercio Británica en España cumple para Gestamp un doble papel. Por un lado, nos sirve como ayuda en la interlocución con las instituciones del Reino Unido y, por otro, nos aporta información relevante sobre el mundo empresarial británico y un foro de intercambio de experiencias empresariales en la relación bilateral España-Reino Unido.
