The BritCham Webinar Series brings you the very latest in updates, information and analysis for business, during the Coronavirus outbreak. These webinars will cover several different topics, useful for all levels of management and the workforce, with updates from government, policy analysts as well as economists. We will focus not only on the Covid-19 outbreak but also on wider UK-China relations, as well as business and cultural topics.
The second webinar comes on the back of the 2nd British Business in China 'Impact of Covid-19' survey which asked British business what the outbreak actually meant for their 2020 revenue, strategy, operations and what support was needed from the UK government.
St. John Moore, Chairman of the British Chamber of Commerce in China, will breakdown the results and also speak with HM Trade Commissioner, Richard Burn on what measures the UK government are putting in place to support British business in China.
This webinar will be available for viewing immediately after it's conclusion. You can register and join the webinar at the below link.
