The BCC goes international

Ab Kuijer, President of the Riviera Business Club - formerly the BCC

Speaking at the recent AGM, Ab Kuijer, President and initiator of the new Business Club, explained the rationale behind this decision. “We’d like the organisation to be ‘nationality neutral’, to encourage business people from all parts of the world to join. If you come to France from Argentina, for example, you might feel that you wouldn’t qualify for membership of a British Chamber of Commerce, but you’d probably feel more comfortable approaching an international business club - and it’s this sort of hurdle that we want to remove.

We’d like business people of any nationality, who are living and running their businesses on the Riviera, to feel welcome.”

A new web address has already been registered: www.rivierabusinessclub.com. Those accessing this site will automatically be directed to the existing website, which will soon take on the new branding.

Planned talks to be covered this year include Making your own website in 15 minutes, Green Marketing brings new clients, Social Media; what is your strategy? and How to start up/maintain your business in France.
