As someone with Irish grandparents I’ve always felt a bond to Ireland. Today was therefore a wonderful opportunity to attend the British and Irish Chamber of Commerce event hosted by the City of London : ‘Connecting Capital to Opportunity’ – A UK – Ireland Partnership that Delivers for All.
We need partners in this world, and the UK and Ireland have a huge connection via their trade in goods and services - £87.4 billion for the year ending Q3 2025, with UK exports to Ireland at £55.4 billion and imports at £32.0 billion. Ireland remains a top-10 trading partner for the UK, and a place with great people.
