This is a multi-sectors, multi-locations visit designed to support two way trade and two way investment between the UK and China. We have already a strong group in the mission committed to stage the promotion of UK investment opportunities to Chinese investors but we welcome businesses to join the mission either to follow our main business programme or to follow their own separate business appointments with our support.

Mission members opted in this programme will meet large groups of Chinese companies in networking events. They can also opt to follow their own appointment programme or one that is tailored made on request.

Guangdong and Beijing requires little introduction. BCC LinkToChina and Thames Valley Chamber of Commerce, who are organising the trade mission, have long established partnerships in both locations. In 2013 we welcomed more than 300+ business and government delegates from 20+ business delegations from China, a significant number of which were Guangdong.  We will meet with many Chinese businesses who have been to the UK, among others.
