The Brexit Effect & OPPORTUNITIES

There is no going back we must go forward November 10th Mortons Club Berkeley Square for breakfast and debate.

The Di Bridges Partnership are hosting a breakfast forum at Mortons Club Berkeley Square. As our guest, you will hear the views and experience from the new President of Thomas Pink LVMH Christopher Zanardi -Landi, previously President Commercial Activity Louis Vuitton world-wide LVMH, joining him will be Emilio Foa, COO/CFO of RAPHA, previously Burberry. Completing our trio, Simon Williamson Group Retail Director Value Retail operating between London and Shanghai, with a fresh insight on China.

DEFINITIONs of a ‘successful ‘BREXIT are contentious – right now we are in limbo – reaping some benefit from the increase in British manufacturing and a tourist explosion in the metropolitan cities within the UK.

The Stock Market has been buoyant as we note a small improvement on the exchange rate but, with almost everything else inconclusive. APAC and the Chinese bubble bursting? Or is it? Let’s debate the opportunities
