The UK-Philippines relationship continues to create opportunities for stronger trade, business, and people-to-people connections 🇬🇧🇵🇭

British Chamber Chairman Sarah McLeod met with Ambassador Teodoro Locsin Jr. in London for what was meant to be a 30-minute meeting, but turned into a nearly 1.5-hour conversation!

They discussed the Ambassador’s longstanding connection with the UK, Sarah’s work with BCCP, and opportunities to further connect British and Philippine business communities, including potential ways for the Ambassador and his team to engage with the Chamber and a possible online event for our Members and network.

The Chamber looks forward to building on these conversations and exploring further opportunities for UK-Philippines collaboration ✨🤝

The Philippines’ energy transition presents significant opportunities for investment, innovation, and long-term economic growth ⚡🌱

In a recent interview with Bilyonaryo News Channel, British Chamber Executive Vice Chairman Chris Nelson highlighted the country’s potential in renewable energy and the growing opportunities for UK businesses to contribute to the sector.

With renewable energy now open to 100% foreign ownership, the Philippines is well positioned to attract investment while strengthening energy security and reducing exposure to global oil price volatility.

As the sector continues to evolve, stronger UK-Philippines collaboration can help unlock the opportunities ahead and support the country’s transition towards a more resilient energy future 🇵🇭🇬🇧
