British Swiss Chamber of Commerce (BSCC) Wins 2012 Chamber of the Year Award

Online, April 25, 2012 (Newswire.com) - We are delighted to announce that the British Swiss Chamber of Commerce is the proud winner of the 2012 COBCOE (Council of British Chambers of Commerce in Europe) Chamber of the Year award. The award was presented at the COBCOE Annual Gala Dinner in London on Tuesday 24th April 2012.

Guest speaker, Dame Julia Cleverdon DCVO CBE presented the award at the prestigious Royal Automobile Club in the presence of 170 distinguished guests. An independent panel of judges elected the British Swiss Chamber of Commerce as the Chamber of the Year from the 41 COBCOE member chambers.

COBCOE highlighted in particular that the BSCC has become a point of reference for all of the chambers in the COBCOE network and referenced its all-round strategy based upon strong financial management, with an extensive events programme both in terms of quantity and quality.

"We are delighted to receive this award which recognises the hard work and dedication of the numerous individuals involved with the chamber," commented Alexis P. Lautenberg, President of the BSCC.

"On behalf of the BSCC I would like to thank each and everyone who contributed to this collective effort. There is no doubt that this award is to be understood as a recognition of both a strong track record that we have "inherited" from the past, but also of the reorientation of our mission that was carried out over the last few years. Of course, the BSCC exists to serve the interest of its members and we will continue to do our utmost to fulfil this promise."

The British-Swiss Chamber of Commerce is an independent not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting its 750-plus Members and promoting business relations between Switzerland, Liechtenstein and the UK.
