President's Letter

Nick Lotz

Nick Lotz
President
British American Business Council of Greater Philadelphia

Dear BABCPHL Members and Friends,

It's official, our in-person programming has resumed! We kicked things off a few weeks ago with a by invitation only welcome reception and lunch for Emma Wade-Smith, OBE, Her Majesty's Trade Commissioner for North America and HM Consul General New York, for her first official visit to Philadelphia. The day began with a private meeting at City Hall with James Kenney, The Honorable Mayor of Philadelphia, followed by lunch and conversation hosted by Neil Boyden Tanner, BABCPHL US/UK Government Liaison and SVP and General Counsel for Finance, Strategy and International Markets at CIGNA. Later that same week, the BABCPHL hosted a rugby viewing party at a local pub to watch the highly anticipated England vs. Ireland penultimate round of the 2022 Six Nations Championship match live broadcast from Twickenham Stadium.

More than ever, global success demands local knowledge, careful management, and trusted partnerships.

Santander Commercial Banking focuses on helping clients make the most of international opportunities, from market entry to sophisticated global sourcing and export strategies. We bring valuable ideas, streamlined in-country execution, and a balanced perspective to capitalize on opportunities and manage risk in this new climate.

HUMAN INTEREST FEATURE

The Unifying Power of Sport

Sports are a unifier. The activity binds people within and across societies. Regardless of background or beliefs, spectators of all ages excitedly gather around radios, televisions, computers, and in pubs and stadium seats to cheer on their favorite teams to enjoy the great global pastime — sports. The day after a widely watched game, conversation revolves around the best plays and the winners are celebrated.

Sadly, there was a sports hiatus throughout the world during the thick of the pandemic. Everything was impacted by this global crises, including major and minor league sports practices and games at all levels. Several months ago, when we polled BABCPHL members about what would bring people back out to in-person programing, the answer was “sports related events.”
