Take It To The World. Go Further. Export.
3 March 2009 – 9:23 am
As I fly back home to London from Toulouse on a personal trip, I can’t think of a better place to fly from whilst thinking about our new message for UK businesses. Toulouse is the HQ of Airbus, a success story in which the UK has much to be proud of. It is from here [...]
This time last year…what were your predictions for 2008?
18 December 2008 – 1:28 pm
It’s December and the human psyche can’t help it: we love predicting what will happen over the next 12 months. Not something we do any other month but the end of a year and the start of another seem like an ideal time to look into that crystal ball.
I couldn’t help but “googling” a [...]
DUBAI: What lies beneath the sand?
2 December 2008 – 11:37 am
A few months ago there was no stopping Dubai…it’s decade-long real estate and tourism success story was the envy of many states. Fast forward to October ‘08 and it became apparent that the credit crunch had forcefully made its way to the shores of the Arabian Gulf.

31 July 2008 – 8:39 am
Well…actually, I was only in one country, Spain. Nevertheless, during my time at the Zaragoza International EXPO, I did indeed visit 86 national pavilions out of a total of 101.
Expecting 5M visitors over three months, the EXPO’s theme is “Water and Sustainable Development” and countries promoted their progress and innovation in this field as well [...]

4 June 2008 – 1:59 pm
I am writing this first post from Istanbul, a magical city spread across two continents. I have just attended our Global Marketing Conference at which we shared our exciting initiatives to continue promoting and showcasing the UK like never before. The theme of the conference was: Reality is nothing. Perception is everything. Why is this [...]
