Deepening relationships – whether it be with clients, prospective clients, partners or colleagues – is a top priority for the Commercial Bank. It’s exciting to see our global connectivity in action with the recent collaboration between our Santander UK team and Bryant University's John H. Chafee Center for International Business.
In coordination with Santander UK, the Santander US International Banking team was proud to support the Bryant University John H. Chafee Center for International Business team as they embarked on their latest trade mission to the United Kingdom. Building and deepening relationships with global trade partners is essential to many businesses who are looking to grow their market outside of the U.S., and trade missions create potential pathways for international growth. Similar to the goal of these missions, Santander Bank’s global capabilities and combination of local and international presence remains critical for companies who are looking to scale their businesses. During their mission, the Rhode Island team had the opportunity to spend a day at the Santander Work Café UK in London, where they heard from a series of speakers including members of the UK consulate and trade organizations for renewable energy and international marine. Santander UK also hosted a networking lunch with members of their business development team, international banking and industry experts. Thank you to Santander UK and the Triton Square Work Café team for your hospitality and partnership, and good luck to the trade mission team on your future endeavors!
