BABC-NE: To meet John Smith, CEO, BBC Worldwide Venue: Offices of K&L Gates, Boston Speaker: John Smith, CEO, BBC Worldwide Description:
"BBC Strategy in the USA"
John Smith is an alumnus of the Harvard Business School and reports directly to the BBC Director General. He is responsible for all commercial operations of the BBC and all activities outside the UK.
UK audiences frequently refer to the BBC as "the Beeb," a nickname originally dubbed by actor Peter Sellers, when he spoke of the "Beeb Beeb Ceeb." Another nickname, somewhat less commonly used, is "Auntie," said to have originated from the old-fashioned "Auntie knows best" attitude. The two nicknames are often used together as "Auntie Beeb."

Company Business Opportunities in Mexico - Venue: Warren Bruce Court, Trafford Park, Manchester, UK Description:
UK businesses are not maximising the massive business opportunities in Latin America existing in markets compared to their foreign counterparts. For instance, UK exports to Mexico, the largest trading nation in Latin America, only accounts for less than 1% of Mexico's imports. Through the recent implementation of Free Trade Agreement with the European Union, which led to the elimination of all tariffs on EU origin industrial goods, it is expected that business opportunities will increase even more.
If you would like to learn more about these markets and discuss business opportunities with Mr John Franck, First Secretary Commercial of British Embassy in Mexico, come and join us for this free of charge meeting on 26th January 09 between 1.00pm-4.30pm in Warren Bruce Court, Trafford Park. Please e-mail Jennifer for a booking form.
