Trio sign up to Liverpool ’embassy’
THREE more organisations have pledged their support to the ‘Liverpool in London’ mission.
North West law firm DWF, design agency Uniform and engineering consultancy Sutcliffe have all become members of the city’s London office.
The office, which was previously known as Liverpool’s London ‘Embassy’, has used the pavilion initially created for Liverpool’s visit to the Shanghai Expo in 2010. It is now based at the former home of the Royal Mint at Royal Mint Court, Tower Hill.
Chris Heyes, who heads the London office for Liverpool Vision, said: “Public sector investment often opens the way for private sector participation and since the beginning of Liverpool in London our companies have wanted to drive our presence in the capital.
“These three are not only supporting us they are giving up their time and helping to manage our time in London through our steering group.”
“Those that have supported us so far are enjoying the benefits of having a presence in the capital, meeting some of the city’s movers and shakers, having increased access to international markets and creating new business opportunities for themselves.”
John Sutcliffe, managing director of Sutcliffe said: “Having a base in London from where we can more easily access the largest market in the UK and sell our service is vital and I hope that others can follow our lead.
Cllr Joe Anderson, leader of Liverpool City Council, said: “Our continued presence in London depends on support from the private sector, because we need to continue to push the wide-ranging Liverpool offer and the many opportunities for inward investment which exist here.”
