Heather Myers, Director of the Chamber was very pleased to welcome the Ambassador of the United States of America, Robert Wood Johnson, on St David’s day at the Celtic Manor. The Ambassador held a round table discussion with six Welsh businesses from a range of industries, including sport supplements, semi-conductors, meat exporters, high tech coatings, innovative concrete solutions and high end electronic security.

Proving that business can continue despite the snow, the friendly but candid discussion centered around the opportunities and difficulties of trading into the USA. The Ambassador was hugely complimentary about the innovation and diversity he had seen on his visit to South Wales and wanted to offer the support of the Embassy to businesses looking to trade and invest into the USA.

The Chamber has made some great contacts with the Embassy and should any members be interested in expanding or trading into the USA, please contact your relationship manager to find out more.
