British Business Network launches in New Zealand
UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) launched its successful British Business Network in New Zealand last month.
Consul General and Director General for UK Trade & Investment Australia and New Zealand, Mr Nick McInnes.
皇冠体育app British Business Network (BBN) aims to encourage British expats or other businesspeople with a connection to the UK, to work with UKTI to increase trade and investment between the UK and New Zealand. 皇冠体育app BBN assists UKTI to improve outreach and support for businesses and will provide members with good connections and other business benefits.
Upon joining the network, members agree to commit a small amount of their time to contribute towards UKTI鈥檚 trade and investment targets, and to act as UKTI鈥檚 鈥榚yes and ears on the ground鈥�.
Members are encouraged to be involved in a number of ways including meeting with British companies when they arrive in New Zealand to discuss the business environment, providing leads or introductions to contacts who may need UKTI鈥檚 assistance and sharing their expertise and experience in specific areas relating to international trade and investment.
皇冠体育app BBN already successfully operates in a number of countries, including Australia.
Consul General and Director General for UK Trade & Investment Australia and New Zealand, Mr Nick McInnes said:
Given the large British expat community in New Zealand, expanding the British Business Network here was a natural next step.
We have been delighted with the response so far and look forward to building a mutually beneficial relationship with our members here.
Since launching in Australia in 2014, the Network has not only helped UKTI improve its outreach and support for British and Australian businesses, but members have greatly benefited from the relationships they have formed.
