An organisation that evolves with the times
“Having been members of the SCC for over a century, we have seen the organisation evolve with the times. With a marked uptick in business-relevant activity the year or so in the run-up to the current crisis, the SCC has yet again adapted to reality and moved what is already a very interesting set of themed topics to an online offering, providing an intimate setting for topical and up to date discussions."
Tomas Gärdfors, Partner and Head of Nordic Norton Rose Fulbright LLP
Many valuable and wide ranging initiatives
"Since recently becoming a fully-fledged UK bank, promoting our 150-year Swedish heritage has become even more important to us. The Swedish Chamber of Commerce for the UK gives us opportunities to do this, whilst supporting the Swedish-British business community through the Chamber’s many valuable and wide ranging initiatives which include business networking events, patronship and participation in the Chamber's important Mentorship Programme for the next generation of inspiring business leaders."
Mikael Sorensen, CEO, Handelsbanken UK
The SCC helped us grow our UK business
"Löfbergs joined the SCC in 2014 hoping to network with more Swedish companies and develop relationships with potential customers. In reality the best relationship has been with the SCC itself, as our company has immersed itself in their events, drinks, lunches and dinners. It has not only helped us grow our UK business but we have also made wonderful long-term friendships along the way."
Wilson Clarke, Managing Director, Löfbergs UK
Many networking opportunities
The SCC is extremely active in developing the relationships between Sweden and the UK in all areas. Deutsche Bank sees the many networking opportunities as an extremely important and interesting forum for developing business contacts at various levels. Moreover, the SCC also provides a platform to build friendships at some of the social get-togethers such as lunches and dinners. Finally, the activities geared toward the young professionals are also highly valued and well attended by the Deutsche Bank team. Overall, the SCC, Deutsche Bank and myself are a very good fit.
Jan Olsson, Managing Director Nordics, Deutsche bank
A fantastic community to be part of
"The Swedish Chamber of Commerce in the UK is first and foremost a fantastic community to be part of, with members coming from a vast array of sectors. Their events, both large and small, are exceptionally well curated and professional. Their inclusivity is also a defining factor: they take the time to really get to know members and suggest helpful ways to get involved and make the most of this excellent network."
Linda Griffin, VP Global Public Policy, Kry/Livi
Excellent return on investment
”We believe we receive an excellent return of investment from our membership with SCC. In addition to being able to leverage the chamber’s networking opportunities, the chamber helps us stay connected with the UK business community, which is immensely important for us as an advisory firm, in order to keep a close contact with international existing or potential clients. The membership also provides us with positive recognition and exposure as a firm in relevant forums and at events.”
Anders Fogel, Founding Partner of Fogel & Partners.
Dynamic, quality network
"Being a member of the SCC has given us many wonderful opportunities to meet with and create strong connections in the Swedish business community. The incredible range of events are always well attended provide great networking opportunities. We are proud to be a part of such a dynamic, quality network that connects us with our company’s Swedish heritage."
Sofia Radomska, Managing Director UK & Ireland, Oriflame
A powerhouse for building and supporting business and cultural links
“The Chamber is through its business services, events and other activities a powerhouse for building and supporting business and cultural links between Sweden and the UK. A key example of this is the Chambers relentless commitment to the technology and life sciences sectors and its support for innovation and entrepreneurs.”
Dr Astrid Maria Dahl, Head of Transactions, Executive Director, Business Development and Licensing, Oncology R&D
A mutually beneficial relationship
“All of us at EF hugely value our partnership with the Swedish Chamber of Commerce. Not only does our membership give us access to numerous thought-provoking events (both in-person and virtual) as well as associated networking opportunities with business leaders across multiple industries, but it also enables us to share our relevant initiatives and programmes with our fellow SCC members through newsletters as well as co-hosted webinars and dinners. We thoroughly enjoy working with Peter and his team, and look forward to an ongoing and mutually beneficial relationship.”
