From Royal visits, to Jubilee and Coronation celebrations, to countless Ministerial visits, it has been a dynamic and exhilarating couple of years at the Consulate.
Thank you to the incredible people I've worked with who made my time at @UKinNewYork so special. Do stay in touch!

The trade & economic cooperation agreements the UK is signing with US states aim to ease barriers, create jobs and make trade easier for British and Hoosier businesses. Great to see HMTC @ewadesmith and leaders from Indiana government and business discuss ways to support this.

Indiana exported $1.7bn worth of goods & services to the UK in 2021, and British companies employed ~28K in the state in 2020.
This week, UK and state leaders met to discuss how UK and Hoosier businesses and workers can take advantage of the recent UK-IN trade agreement.

It was a privilege to tour the Cabazon Cultural Museum yesterday, ahead of meeting with tribal leaders and other participants at the UK-US SME Dialogue. Diversity and inclusion are an important part of our SME support, and today we are discussing how we can broaden our efforts.

The terrorist attacks of 9/11 forever impacted NYC and the world. 22 years later, memories of the horrors remain vividly etched in our minds and hearts as we gathered at the @QEIIGarden to honour and mourn those who perished.

Congratulations to Sir Simon Schama for the release of his book, “Foreign Bodies: Pandemics, Vaccines and the Health of Nations.” @TinaBrownLM and I were pleased to celebrate @Simon_Schama’s newest work of history, one which feels particularly pertinent in a post-Covid world.
