In the last 12 months, the Business Ambassadors have participated in more than 150 activities in over 40 markets, including giving speeches, mentoring businesses, and participating in key events such as GREAT Weeks and Festivals. Their role is not primarily to lead trade mission but to promote UK business when travelling overseas as part of their own business engagements.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The only trade missions in the past 12 months led by a Business Ambassador were both led by the Rt Hon Brian Wilson. The date of the first mission was the 13-16 January 2014 to Cuba, and the other was 16-19 November 2014 to Taiwan.<\/p>
