Delighted to be invited to participate in this visit – the first to a regional city by this very successful Chamber. Birmingham did itself proud, led by Mike Whitby who welcomed the French Ambassador and the delegation and went on to host a lunch for them at Opus.
The delegation included some very senior business leaders including Richard Brown from Eurostar who had some interesting views about HS2. The delegation met with French businesses based in the region and then visited some of our key organisations including Jaguar Land Rover. The day ended with a dinner hosted by Birmingham Forward members Wragge & Co who have strong presence in France.
