Welcome to the first edition of BAG’s Missions Activity Update
We are very excited to be sharing the first regular Update from the BAG Missions Working Group. In today’s update we would firstly like to introduce the Missions Working Group and outline its aims and activities. We are also highlighting some key statistics about BAG’s Mission Activity over the past 5 years and especially our work over the past 18 months during the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. We will outline how BAG has adapted its missions programme and even increased its activities and how as a trade body we have successfully engaged with our stakeholders and members throughout a challenging time.
Our programme of missions activity includes virtual missions, inward visits, and outward missions, and is coordinated with the Department for International Trade (DIT). Our work helps companies to identify where opportunities exist, meet with government officials, airport authorities, contractors and key decision makers on international airport developments, as well as gain insight into trading with specific countries.
We hope you find this new communication useful and I am looking forward to any feedback and inputs you have for our work moving forwards. Matthew Butters BAG Deputy Chair and Lead, Missions Working Group |
