Harris Ikonomopoulos

The outgoing presidents of the British Hellenic Chamber of Commerce were re-elected to serve their second three-year term at a first meeting of the new board of directors on May 7.

The new board of directors, which has as its main concern the chamber’s strategic planning for the coming years, hopes to continue to provide a rich programme of initiatives and events in Greece and United Kingdom and to develop the financial and entrepreneurial relations between the two countries by utilising the opportunities provided not only within the framework of the productive restructuring in Greece but in the continuously increasing Greek presence in the UK
