The Franco-British Business Awards (FBBA), co-organised by the French Chamber of Commerce in Great Britain and the Franco-British Chamber of Commerce & Industry in France, have been recognising and rewarding success in cross-border trade and investments between France and Great Britain since 2000.
In 2010, the 10th anniversary was celebrated in London under the patronage of H.E. Mr Gourdault-Montagne, French Ambassador to the UK and H.E. Sir Peter Westmacott, British Ambassador to France.
