Dear Members & Friends,
We hope you are well.
The month of June at the Franco-British Chamber was marked by the presentation of the 6th edition of the Franco-British Economic Relations Barometer. Franco-British trade continues to grow strongly following an exceptional 2022 which saw a 13% rebound in trade in goods and services between France and the UK, compared to 2019, the previous record year for trade between our two countries.
This month we also celebrated the 150th anniversary of the Franco-British Chamber at our Summer Garden Party held in the gardens at the Residence of His Majesty's Ambassador to France, Dame Menna Rawlings. The Franco-British Chamber would like to thank the British Embassy for its unfailing support as well as our partners, who made this event possible.
Next week, the 3rd edition of the UK-FRANCE Business Forum will be held under the patronage of both Embassies and chaired by the bilateral Chambers to discuss on several key areas including clean growth, technology and innovation, and mobility.
We look forward to seeing you in September for the Rentrée Réception which will be held on 20th September.
In the meantime, we wish you all a great summer!
Catherine LE YAOUANC,
General Manager
