Latvian British Chamber of Commerce

I welcome the creation of the Latvian British Chamber of Commerce. UK Trade & Investment intends to work in partnership with the LBCC, as we do with other European Chambers.

International trade and investment is pivotal to the UK economy. The UK provides an excellent environment for companies to grow in and is the ideal location from which companies can realise their international business potential. The UK provides a unique gateway of international connections and is a recognised leader in the fields of creativity and innovation.

We look forward to welcoming Latvian and Baltic businesses to the UK.

Dear friends,

I wanted to write to you to welcome the Latvian British Chamber of Commerce to Westminster and, I hope, lay the foundations for a long and mutually beneficial working relationship between the City of Westminster and the Latvian business community.

Westminster’s 33,000 businesses generate around 2 per cent of this country’s GDP but in my role as Cabinet Member for Enterprise and Volunteering I intend to maintain and strengthen the city’s position as the enterprise capital of Britain by encouraging more companies from all over the world to benefit from the vibrant commercial atmosphere. I also hope to support local companies in their exploration of other territories as a means of expansion. I hope that we can work together to achieve both of these aims to support commerce both in Latvia and in Central London.

My experience at the Latvian British Chamber of Commerce was incredibly rewarding. One of the things that I value and appreciate the most was the allowance for me as an intern to contribute so much to the successes of the organization. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to a perspective and promising organization. It was also a great place to gain mentors and plan for the future. I enjoyed working in such a supportive and international atmosphere, and the experience I took away from interning with LBCC is invaluable for my professional development. Thank you for making this internship such a wonderful experience!
