The British Ambassador to China, Sebastian Wood CMG, welcomed EO Beijing chapter members at his residence on March 31st.
I arranged the event to introduce the new Ambassador to some of the Britons who are building businesses in Beijing. Although a small group, it is a vibrant one and offers the potential to create a support network for other Britons who want to establish a business in China.
The topics ranged from the hurdles faced in setting up in China, trade finance, legislation changes and the obvious opportunities for entrepreneurs in China. The discussion also turned to ways in which British entrepreneurs could help those outside of the UK enter China. These included the organizing of a British entrepreneurs event to coincide with the British Business Awards in Shanghai 2010.
Sebastian Wood was appointed as Her Majesty’s Ambassador to the People’s Republic of China in January 2010.
