Dear Members and Friends,
Spring is thankfully here again! The first quarter of the year started well, with numbers of bi-lateral business and trade between our two countries going up. We are currently planning and structuring great concrete plans for more fruitful and meaningful cooperation and business opportunities for IBCC Members and friends.
Join us to enjoy a great network of organizations, decision-makers, and people who are doing business with each other, thereby creating an endless bridge of good will and great relations.
The IBCC, Board, and team are wishing you all Happy Holidays!!!
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PEOPLE!!!
Key Brexit and Trade Developments
Brexit Breakfast: In March, the IBCC President, Anita Leviant, hosted a group of senior Israeli and British company managers at the HMA David Quarrey's Residence for a Brexit Breakfast. This featured an open discussion with the Ambassador about possible developments and corresponding preparations.
Continuity Trade Agreement: The agreement, signed in February 2019, ensures minimal disruption to the mutual trade relationship between both countries in view of the prospective BREXIT. The agreement is considered just the first step towards enhancing and improving the already good terms of business and trade between the two countries.
