Sir Martin Sorrell, Chief Executive, WPP Group, Chairman, BritishAmerican Business's International Advisory Board

"BritishAmerican Business has clearly established itself as the pre-eminent transatlantic business organization, and does a great job of helping companies build their business on both sides of the Atlantic. That's why, as a member of its Advisory Board, I am committed to supporting it. And since there are 70 other Chairmen and CEOs of leading multinational companies on that same board, it would seem I am not alone."

"BritishAmerican Business is an outstanding organization. It plays a key role in furthering US and UK business interests by promoting an open trading environment in partnership with both our governments. We wholeheartedly support BritishAmerican Business and its work."
