Our other websites:Insights from two of our team members in China
26 Apr 2012
Today, I thought I would post some insights from two our Team London members that are currently with us in China. The first one is from Andrea Feddema of Ernst and Young and the second is from Barry Cleaver of Siskinds.

With this being my first trip to Asia I cannot help but be amazed by the sheer size and scale of the cities of Chengdu and Chongqing. The city of Chongqing alone has a population greater than Canada exceeding 30 million. While our countries differ in the size of our cities it is clear to me that the importance of relationships and face to face meetings to business is shared across our cultures. We have had the opportunity to share insights on doing business in each other's countries, both through our formal presentations and our informal meetings. I am encouraged by the tangible opportunities I see to do business with the Chinese chamber members we have met who are considering doing business in London. Putting on my hat as a Chamber board member I am very proud of our London Chamber of commerce team. As always, Gerry does an excellent job on behalf of the London Chamber and of course is keeping us all in line. Also, Lily has truly outdone herself in making the trip run smoothly, and of course proudly representing our ABOC committee! It is interesting to see the level of respect that the chambers of commerce command in China and what an important role they play in business and also education. Last but not least it has been a pleasure to travel with the City of London delegates who are hard at work every time you turn around; they can often be seen at the end of a very busy day writing their blogs in train stations, bus shelters or airplane terminals.
