CCUK members were invited to a special VIP Friends of Cayman dinner last night hosted by the Cayman Islands Government London Office. It was an honour to have so many of our Caymanian students and CCUK members at the event and we were delighted to have been given so much inclusion at a fantastic opportunity to network with private sector individuals from various industries and the core Group of Friends of Cayman, including Chairman John Owen CMG, Former Governor of the Cayman Islands, Steve Webster of Caybrew and Rob Duggan, long term supporter of CCUK from Mourants.
Julian Menko, studying International Relations and Politics in Kent attended the event and commented “I was honoured to be able to attend the Friends of Cayman dinner and very happy to see so many other students there, some I had met before and some I had not, it was a pleasure to be introduced to the new Representative and I look forward to engaging with the London Office, the Friends of Cayman and Cayman Connection UK (CCUK) more next year.”
Former Governor and Chair of the Friends of Cayman group in the UK commented: “Congratulations to André Ebanks and his team for a most memorable dinner for the Friends of Cayman. I’m sure the Friends will continue, with even more energy and enthusiasm, to support the Cayman Islands. I was pleased that so many Caymanian students, who are the future of Cayman, were also guests at the dinner.”
The Cayman Islands Representative to the UK and Europe, André Ebanks said of the event “It was an honour, a privilege and a joy to be introduced to so many wonderful supporters of Cayman and to be able to personally thank them for their continued friendship. I was truly touched by their affection for our country and their willingness to help us with our endeavours and initiatives, and in particular to watch them interact with our Caymanian students.”
CCUK endeavours to support the Cayman Islands and is proud to be supported by the Cayman Islands Government and Friends of Cayman.
At networking events like these we are able to brainstorm new ideas and seek new support for the Cayman Connection network and we are looking forward to some exciting developments from this in 2020!
Huge thanks to Andre Ebanks and the team at the Cayman Islands Government Office and the Friends of Cayman for a truly enjoyable evening, we stand ready to continue assist the Cayman Islands overseas with the Cayman Connection network.
