“We highly value our association with the BABC. At sponsored seminars and luncheons, our interactions with fellow council members have provided an excellent means to better understand the worldwide healthcare needs of the globally mobile population.”
Shirley Puccino,
"The BABC Exchange Visitor Program was extremely straightforward to use and the process was handled much more efficiently than if we were to have undertaken it independently. All the staff administering the program were very knowledgeable and they were able to guide us through the process very smoothly. All in all, a very well administered program and as a Company we would certainly use it again if we had to." Ibrahim Moghraby
“The International Business Breakfast Networking was an exceptional event. The message based on the number and quality of participants is that international business is alive in the Greater Philadelphia Region” Richard Miller
“Our participation in the BABC is an important part of our involvement in the UK-US business. Our sponsorship of BABC events has been one of the most effective relationships we've had from a promotional standpoint. The return we see on our initial sponsorship investment is always substantial. BABC events like the Luncheon with Mr. Robert Walker, Group Chief Executive for Severn Trent Plc, and the seminar “Global Mobility” provide key visibility opportunities for the entire PricewaterhouseCoopers family." Michael Swanick
"Having moved to live in the Greater Philadelphia area in September 2003 as President & CEO of American Water, I have found the BABC an excellent organization for facilitating networking amongst business leaders in the local community, as well as a very sound vehicle in which to become engaged in some important business topics. In the period since September, I particularly found the meeting with Andrew Davis, Minister of Economic Development and Transport for Wales, in February 2004 a valuable occasion to share general thoughts with regard to issues impacting investment decisions, not only in Wales itself, but also in Philadelphia. The BABC also allows an opportunity to meet with the ministers in the UK government and stay abreast of current thinking and developments" Jeremy Pelczer
“US Airways was proud to sponsor the Seventh Annual International Chamber Business Reception. We have been associated with this prestigious event for several years! This event provides us an excellent opportunity to showcase our product to a very influential and traveling audience. Always done in First Class style, the reception continues to attract more and more attendees every year. Congratulations BABC on another fabulous reception!” Chris Sever
“As a result of my BABC membership and active participation with the many networking opportunities, the friendships, business relationships and new clients developed have been mutually beneficial.” G. Michael Howard
“Wales was able to play a major role in the BABC Fall Conference in Philadelphia, both in terms of its relationship and the involvement of the trade mission. I know that those involved in both elements are extremely pleased with the outcome and that the trade mission delegates have already reported initial business worth over GBP 400,000. This could not have been achieved without the increasingly close relationship that has developed between Wales and the BABC in Philadelphia”. Andrew Davies
“Being a sponsor of the 2005 International Business Breakfast allowed us to send out the message that we are dedicated to firmly establish Greater Philadelphia as a top-tier place to do business. This is especially important as the breakfast brought together a panel of international companies who have set up operations in the Greater Philadelphia region to discuss the reason that brought them to this area.” Jim Shannon
“As a sole proprietor that specializes in executive coaching of foreign nationals that are assimilating into the North American business cultural, I find my BABC membership to be an invaluable way of staying aware of issues and concerns corporations and individual executives face when trading with and doing business in North America and Britain. Not only do I find the BABC meetings a great source of contacts and referrals, but I get a chance to talk and interact with others who, being in similar situations, can talk and learn together about how to deal with problems and identify opportunities of common interest.” Stan Tilton
“Having built our network over our organization’s first decade, we made a great start at this Conference to meeting the main challenge of our second decade –enabling our members to gain more business leverage from the network that they and we are part of. I am very grateful to all our hosts in Philadelphia for making this possible.” David Birch “Hayes & Finch, international suppliers of quality ecclesiastical goods, is a 123 year old British company based in Aintree, Liverpool. In July 2004 - Hayes & Finch Inc was established and opened the doors of its Exton showroom for business in January 2005.The BABC offered a great deal of assistance and facilitated the support mechanism we needed to launch our business in the US giving us access to many networking events and introductions to business contacts.” Andrew Welsh
“As a member of BABC, STL has had the opportunity to invite a key client (ex pat) to a lunch with the British ambassador - this provided a great networking opportunity for both STL and our client, and I had a brief chat with Sir David Manning. When STL sponsored a conference event I was honoured to have lunch with James Naughtie prior to his speech discussing his new book, The Accidental American and the whole issue of British American politics - sterling stuff! BABC is a highly connected and active organization that presents numerous opportunities for professional networking. Rachel Brydon Jannetta |
