New Zealand House welcomes transatlantic friends

NEW ZEALAND business people had the chance to mix and mingle with counterparts from Australia, Canada, Britain and the United States at a cocktail function on 24 September 2012.

Held in the Penthouse Suite at New Zealand House – with arguably the best view in all of central London – close to 100 people had the chance to enjoy the setting, eat and drink, and make connections with fellow workers at the ANZ-sponsored Transatlantic Cocktail Reception.

The event was organised by Australian Business, British American Business, Canada United Kingdom Chamber of Commerce and KEA – New Zealand’s Global Network.

New Zealand’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom Derek Leask welcomed those in attendance in English and Maori, and gave a short but humorous speech about his family ties to the banking industry, appropriate given the sponsor.
