UK Department for International Trade Latin America and Caribbean Regional Conference

On 28th November, 2017 I was honoured to have been invited to attend the UK Department for International Trade Latin America and Caribbean Regional Conference (DIT LATAC), held in Lima, with DIT Heads of Trade and Investment and DIT Managers from specific sectors and LATAC countries.
As part of the conference, I was invited to be part of a panel, together with representatives from Diageo, GSK and Intertek, for an informal discussion on how we worked with DIT; how DIT could help do more business; and the challenges we found in LATAC markets.
A very interesting event.
