Consulco hosts His Majesty’s Trade Commissioner for Europe

Political and economic developments in the UK and Cyprus as well as across the globe, were the main focus of a working lunch hosted by the CEO of Consulco Group of Companies, Marios Hadjiroussos, in honour of His Majesty’s Trade Commissioner for Europe, Chris Barton CMG.

The working lunch, which was held at Consulco’s headquarters in Nicosia, was also attended by the British High Commissioner to Cyprus, His Excellency Irfan Siddiq OBE, representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Energy, as well as prominent Cypriot businesspeople.

Attendees had the opportunity to discuss the ways in which the British and Cypriot governments can help and support Cypriot businesses expand their operations and investments in the UK market.

The participants also exchanged views on current global developments as well as their economic and political impact on the two countries.

Barton shared his thoughts on the event, saying, “It’s been a huge pleasure to be here with Consulco and a range of Cypriot businesses, and we’ve heard so much enthusiasm for a thriving UK-Cyprus trade and investment relationship and lots of opportunities. Our trades grew over 25% last year, and I know there’s potential to do so much more, both in terms of trade and investment, and that’s hugely welcome from the UK side.”
