Sadiq Khan, keeping London on the map

London & Partners is the official promotional agency for The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. Its mission is to tell London’s story brilliantly to an international audience, continuing to promote London as the best city in the world in which to invest, work, study and also to visit.

The Mayor is committed to keeping London a leading business destination and to continuing to attract investment into the capital after Britain leaves the EU. Last week, Khan made the announcement that London & Partners will be increasing its overseas presence by opening up new overseas offices in six key cities.

The new offices are set to be in Paris, Berlin, Bangalore, Shenzhen, Chicago and Toronto. The new sites represent some of the most important markets for foreign direct investment (FDI) into London.

Khan said: “London remains a globally competitive city and I am committed to promoting the city internationally post-Brexit.

“Now, more than ever, we must have people on the ground engaging with businesses all over the world, including in Europe where historically there has been a relaxed approach to managing relationships.

“London & Partners will soon have more people closer to key decision makers, speaking to both existing and potential new investors to bang the drum for London as the best city in the world to do business.”

Andrew Cooke, Acting CEO of London & Partners, said: “The fundamental strengths that have made London a leading global destination for foreign investors have not changed following the EU referendum vote. But in an increasingly competitive landscape it is important that we continue to promote London as leading city for business, talent and innovation on the international stage. The decision to expand our overseas presence will help us to better engage key decision makers in our most important markets and sends a clear a clear message that London remains open to trade and investment with the rest of the world.”
