British Business Association celebrates 10th anniversary

Launched on July 20, 2006 in a bid to promote and represent British business interests in the region, the British Business Association of Macau will celebrate its 10th anniversary on Wednesday.
Throughout its first 10 years, BBAM has sought to create an environment and the circumstances that are conducive to the generation of mutually beneficial business opportunities for British and Macau enterprises, according to the association’s statement.
The association’s press release highlighted the importance of social networking events in generating business opportunities for its members.
Commenting on the BBAM milestone, Henry Brockman, BBAM chairman noted: “Our networking events are designed to facilitate knowledge exchange and the development of British and local industries as a whole.”
“BBAM takes very seriously its mission of defining, upholding and encouraging best business practices at the member level. We endeavour to act as the focal point in Macau for British industry,” he added.
BBAM’s Corporate Social Responsibility programme has also supported scholarships for local students during the past decade, demonstrating British businesses’ commitment to being responsible members of the region’s society.
“It has been a real pleasure to be the chairman of BBAM for many of the past ten years.  I have witnessed the Association grow from an idea on a page to what it is today – arguably the most active Western Business Chamber in Macau,” Brockman concluded.
