The Chamber Dear BSCC members,

Thank you for another great year! Thank you for all your relevant input in the form of information sharing, sponsorship and networking. The network is only so good because of you!

The Chamber autumn has been as thought-provoking as ever, ending with the most amount of people that we have ever been at the British Ambassadors’ residence for Christmas drinks as well as the annual, exclusive Patrons’ Dinner at Täcka Udden, sponsored by Investor AB.

We have during the autumn welcomed the new British Ambassador to Sweden; Mr David Cairns, who many of you have now met. We have talked about the Creative Industry with former Ambassador Andrew Mitchell in Gothenburg, Cyber Security with new Patrons AIG, Energy Challenges with Magnus Hall, Vattenfall, Digital Transformation with Dr Andrea Young from the British Government, and how to handle the Media with PR Newswire.

The spring of 2016 will include the launch of the new BSCC Website, ”Update UK foreign policy – Reflections of Sweden” in Gothenburg, for our Patrons only – Executive Forum with Karl-Henrik Sundström, CEO at Stora Enso AB, Robert Bergquist, Chief Economist at SEB, and Skanska’s CEO UK, Mike Putnam. The spring will also focus on questions around “Brexit”.

Please also let us know if you would like to use our new website for Member-to-Member offers.

Merry Christmas and we look forward to seeing you in the new year!

Kind regards,

Christina Liljeström
