2023 ANNUAL DOORKNOCK IN LONDON

In September, the Chamber held a successful doorknock week in London. Our Chair Anne Kerr and Executive Director Paul McComb were delighted to meet with the UK officials and Ministers, showcase the opportunities in Northern Metropolis, reconnect with the creative and innovative professionals, and take part in events organised by HKTDC London and the Hong Kong Association during their Hong Kong Week.

BritCham Northern Metropolis Event "Everyone is talking about The Line in Saudi Arabia or Dubai Vertical City, we need to get them talking about Hong Kong's Northern Metropolis!" That was the clear message from our Chair Anne Kerr at an exclusive event organised by the Chamber in collaboration with HKTDC London, Institution of Civil Engineers, Hong Kong Association, and The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers. Our panellists brought a much needed perspective on the exciting opportunities that the Northern Metropolis offers, including the creation of 600,000 jobs from rail infrastructure that rivals London’s Crossrail in sheer scale.

Hong Kong Association Closed-door Briefing Our Chair Anne Kerr and Executive Director Paul McComb joined Brian Davidson CMG, HM Consul General Hong Kong, FCDO and Chris Woodward, Director General, Trade & Investment, Department for Business & Trade HK, met with the HKA members and shared insights on Hong Kong’s current activities, business confidence, relations with China and progress in integrating with the Greater Bay Area.
