The Diplomatic Advisory Hub is a joint initiative between the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC).
Led by a former UK Ambassador, the Hub is both a front door and a feedback loop. It’s a front door for businesses to tap into geopolitical insight, and a feedback loop so that what businesses are seeing in supply chains and boardrooms flows back to our diplomats and policy makers.
The Diplomatic Advisory Hub sits alongside the British Chambers of Commerce’s wider trade support for businesses, and the other support for exporters offered by the UK Government.
