While many of us in the Northern hemisphere were
winding down in December, WE ARE GUERNSEY'S South Africa
Business Development Representative Grant McLeod was as busy as
ever. In his latest blog, Grant provides an update on his
activities in the run-up to Christmas...
Over the last few weeks of 2021 I've been focusing on what
more I can do to promote Guernsey in the region, as well as the
usual numerous business development meetings and introductions with
Guernsey and off-island service providers and potential clients in
South Africa.
In my opinion, the most effective way to do that is face to
face, so it was great to be able to host two (socially-distance and
masked) networking breakfasts in Cape Town and Johannesburg at the
end of November. After all the Covid restrictions, it was a welcome
change to be able to meet old friends and develop new connections
somewhere that wasn't behind a computer screen.
