Politicians, officials and business leaders have flown to the English capital to celebrate the close ties that unite Gibraltar and Britain, and to further them. Today’s episode of the podcast was recorded live from Gibraltar day in London. It’s an important time for the financial services industry, serving as an opportunity to showcase what Gibraltar has to offer to potential investors. Minister of Finance Nigel Feetham said it is vital to emphasise that Gibraltar is a ‘reliable partner’ for UK entities and with the UK Government. We asked the Attorney General Michael Llamas KC, who is closely involved in the treaty talks, whether there is a need to reassure investors where Gibraltar stands with the negotiations. James Bowater, Founder of the Digital Commonwealth, told us about his strong ties with Gibraltar, and why he chose the Rock as the home of the Digital Commonwealth. With the Chief Minister tied up with treaty negotiations, Minister for Business Gemma Arias-Vasquez will be giving an address at the event in his absence. She told us the key points of her speech. Lawyer Emma Lejeune from Isolas said the Gibraltar Day events are an opportunity to reconnect with existing clients face to face whilst also recruiting new ones. It’s a chance to reinforce our strong ties with the UK. PwC’s Mohammed Khan lives in London but travels to Gibraltar frequently to work alongside the Gibraltar branch to support their insurance clients. He told us why Gibraltar is a great place to do insurance business. Mark Palmer invested in Lions FC Football Club last year. He told what attracted him to both the club, and Gibraltar. And, Sir Bob Neill has been in Gibraltar for many National Day celebrations over the years. For him Gibraltar Day is a chance to raise the Rock’s profile as a financial service sector, and expressed how he will always be a friend of Gibraltar. Hosted on Acast.
