Welcome from Stuart O. Keirle
President, BABC Northern California

Founded in 1954 as the British American Trade Center, today the British American Business Council (BABC) is one of the most important and influential UK/US bilateral trade organizations in Northern California.

There are more than 200 UK companies with established operations in the Bay Area and over 350 US companies headquartered here who have offices or subsidiaries in the United Kingdom. This represents one of the greatest concentrations of bilateral business in one geographic area within the United States

We focus on providing practical networking opportunities for our members by organizing a number of business and social events throughout the year, many of which you will find listed on this website. In addition, we jointly sponsor and promote events with other Bay Area organizations that we believe will be of value to our members. We also maintain strong links with the British Consulate-General in San Francisco, particularly with the UK Trade & Investment Section.

Our Board of Directors represent a number of leading professional, financial, service and technology companies in the Bay Area with significant business experience in both the USA and the UK. Therefore, our members not only have an unprecedented opportunity to establish business and social contacts with individuals and organizations that have a common interest in promoting bilateral trade and relationships between and within our countries, but also can tap into the significant knowledge base of our Council Board and members.

To allow our members to connect and stay connected, we compile an on-line directory. The BABC Directory contains a listing of both the Council's corporate members together with a company profile and contact information, and a listing of the Council's individual members. I strongly encourage you to make use of the directory and the many other services offered by the Council as well as those of the network of trade organizations in the British American Business Council.

We welcome new members, both Individual and Corporate, so don't hesitate to contact our San Francisco office to explore further the benefits we offer. Telephone: 415-296-8645 or email: info@babcsf.org

Sincerely,

Stuart O. Keirle
President
