Greetings,
We held our Annual Garden Party on September 8 and it was a great time, as usual. During this event, British Consul General Jeremy Pilmore-Bedford reiterated the importance of BABC-GA as the UK continues to grapple with the impact of the Brexit vote. We express our gratitude to Jeremy for his ongoing support and opening his residence to us for this special event. You may view photos from the event by clicking here.
The First Minister of Wales, Rt. Hon Carwyn Jones, made a visit to the US last week and the Board of BABC-GA hosted a lunch for him. We shared our experiences of doing business in the southeast, and he shared examples of Welsh companies expanding over here. The drive of the Welsh government to expand business into our region and offer attractive incentives to companies considering Wales as a European base is a reflection of the increasing maturity of Wales as an excellent business location. We anticipate doing more with the Welsh Office over the coming months and years. Please see below for more information about his visit.
Our Events Committee has been diligently planning several interesting events for the remainder of 2016. More information about each of these is below. I look forward to seeing you at one of our events soon.
 Regards,
James Anthony
