Lord Waverley

My interest is international affairs through first-hand engagement with activities centered around the developing & emerging markets. I contribute regularly to proceedings on global issues, addressing challenging issues of the day. In working to promote fair and equitable trade through accurate and reliable market data & to build a level and transparent playing field for businesses of all sizes, I assist in Market entry & Trade facilitation strategies.

Real privilege and pleasure to welcome students from across north Kent (@AletheiaAT) to Parliament. Wish my school reports demonstrated all the talents; impressive quality of research and how articulate they were. Gives hope for the future.

Grateful to Andrew Lambert, Chair of the International Trade Group of Institute of Directors for organising such a timely event on international trade and for his overly generous remarks: "I extend our sincerest appreciation, Lord Waverley, for your hosting an event on International Trade and Networking that left a lasting impression on all who attended. The buzz generated on social media and the numerous reposts and comments stand testament to the event's blend of informative content. Your contribution not only elevated its stature but also positioned the IoD as a leading voice for business in the sphere of international trade." @EMS_Andrew
