NETWORKING EVENTS

With the ease of COVID-19 restrictions, the Chamber was determined to make up for the lost time and there is nothing like a networking event, where companies get to meet and interact together. The Chamber aims to organise quarterly networking events as part of our continuous effort to promote bilateral trade and partnerships.

The Chamber in partnership with the National Bank of Egypt has organised a networking event during the month of October, which was hosted at NBE ‘s impressive London premises in Mayfair where an array of canapes and drinks were circulated among guests. Welcome remarks were given by EBCC Chairman Ian Gray, OBE, followed by opening remarks from Dr. Yasser Hassan NBE CEO, who welcomed everyone and talked about the bank’s services. We had a full room of guests, and the atmosphere was vibrant, was very good to see many familiar faces as well as new ones.

In February the Chamber organised its second networking event in partnership with Vanquish Real Estate and the National Bank of Egypt. The evening was hosted in honour of H.E. Sherif Kamel Egyptian Ambassador to the UK. who gave an overview of the business environment in Egypt and how the country is gearing up its resources leading up to COP27.

This was followed by a presentation from Karim Gorgy CEO of Vanquish Real Estate highlighting the latest projects and developments in the UK. The forward thinking, innovative attitude which Vanquish Real Estate offers is designed to offer professional, efficient service on a friendlier level.

Dr. Yasser Hassan CEO of National Bank of Egypt talked about the bank’s continued support of businesses that wish to trade with Egypt by providing tailored financial solutions. With the recent launch of its Buy to Let Mortgage product, it also helps property investors take advantage of buy to let opportunities.

The event was attended by many people who exchanged ideas and contacts. The atmosphere was buzzing and vibrant, an overall success!
