Welcome to the BABC in the Yorkshire and Humber
The British-American Business Council provides direct,
business to business, transatlantic contacts and introductions. If you
represent a UK business with North American interests, or a North
American business with UK interests, you should
benefit from joining the BABC.
 |
Local membership opens the door to a transatlantic
network which includes 3,500
member companies. While on business trips, you will be
able to attend
business events in 30 major cities spanning the UK, USA, Canada
and Mexico. And, through the sponsorship of member companies, you
can access over 100
discounts
on a wide range of business services. |
The importance of networking and of establishing personal
relationships in a global economy cannot be overstated. This is
especially the case in the development of bilateral relations with North
America, where trade is of major importance to the UK economy. The
British-American Business Council, with its 30 Chapters, is the largest
transatlantic organisation of its type and plays a leading role in the
development of cross border relations and business between like-minded
people. But it is much more than simply a networking opportunity. Its
Diplomatic contacts, both within the UK and in North America, can add
real value to membership, while the direct benefits alone make
membership a worthwhile proposition.
