Donate for the Paralympics with the French
Federation Handisport
Some 160 French athletes have been pre-selected for participation in the Paralympic Games (29 Aug - 9 Sep) and each has fought hard to qualify for the team. Yet, the Fédération Française Handisport does not have the means to send the entire team to the London Games, in spite of receiving substantial support from the French Ministry of Sports. The Chamber has decided to support Handisport with this lottery initiative.
How does it work? Distribute to your members of staff a £2 tombola ticket or a book of 5 tickets for £10.
Click here to be part of the adventure! Great prizes to win!
Deadline 21th September 2012.

INFO focusing on Luxury is online
The next issue of INFO will focus on SME’s & Entrepreneurs
The next Focus has as its topic SMEs and entrepreneurs, an often overlooked sector even though they constitute 99% of all businesses in the UK. Lacking the access to funds of blue chip companies, or the economies of scale of larger enterprises, SMEs have felt the full brunt of economic woes. For all that, SMEs remain resilient and constitute essential pillars of local communities. Last year they employed some 13.8 million people in Britain and accounted for nearly 60% of private sector employment. SMEs are a pinion of what the Chamber is all about. In our issue we will look deeper at the challenges SMEs face, their successes in winning export markets, and the role that institutions like the Chamber can play in helping them along the path to success.
If you wish to contribute to the editorial focus, please contact Priscilla Petit at 020 7092 6648. If you want to increase your visibility through advertising, please contact Christophe Castiglioni at 02070926651.
