150 industry representatives are expected to attend this year’s event at the Mansfield Traquair. Guests will enjoy a fantastic lunch, hear from the Chamber’s newly appointed President, Graham Westgarth (also V.Group’s Chairman) and have the opportunity to network with industry colleagues.

Commenting on their sponsorship, Matt Dunlop, Director of Sustainability and Decarbonisation: from V.Group said:

“V.Group is delighted to be sponsoring the UK Chamber of Shipping Summer lunch. After almost two years of virtual networking, it will be fantastic to be back in the room with industry friends and colleagues. Events such as this are vital in bringing the UK shipping industry together, providing an opportunity to build relationships and share knowledge. The UK shipping sector has faced unprecedented challenges in recent years and we are very much looking forward to meeting as many attendees as possible.”

Head of Membership & Business Development at the Chamber, Tony Jerome, said:

“We have a wonderful relationship with V.Group and delighted they have kindly agreed to sponsor our Summer Lunch. The Scottish maritime sector is going from strength to strength, it contributes £10bn a year to the UK economy and directly supports 41,000 jobs. We look forward to seeing industry colleagues in June as we celebrate the sector’s ongoing success.”
