The Estonian Guild in London Begins its Activities

21.01.2010

On Tuesday, 19 January, Ambassador of Estonia to the United Kingdom Margus Laidre opened the seminar of the London Estonian Guild, which brings together Estonian entrepreneurs and enterprising people. The seminar is focusing on co-operation between Estonia and the United Kingdom in various sectors and its development.

The ambassador stated that frequently Estonians are by nature solitary workers, while at the same time realising that one cannot break through in the world without co-operating. “The Estonian Guild working in London is a significant example of this sort of co-operation,” he stated. “Let’s not forget the simple but harsh truth in today’s world—if people can’t see you, you don’t exist,” Laidre added.

In addition to the ambassador, other participants in the event include the tax policy counsellor of the British HM Treasury Aili Nurk, head of the Estonian contingent in Great Britain and Northern Ireland Lieutenant Commander Peeter Ivask, and director of the innovative business Realeyes Mihkel Jäätma.

The Estonian Guild in London is a network created by local Estonians with the support of the Estonian Embassy and Enterprise Estonia, which brings together active Estonians in the British Isles. The goal of the guild is to meet regularly, to exchange information, experiences and contacts, and to encourage and help fellow countrymen who wish to become active in business in the United Kingdom. The guild meets once a month.

The Estonian Guild in London has its own webpage http://gild.edicypages.com/, and you can contact the organisation at the address eestigildlondonis@gmail.com.
