Estonian Guild in London opens doors
21.01.2010, 11:29Estonian Guild in London that brings together active Estonians in UK held its opening meeting this week in The Railway Tavern in London.
The meeting was opened by Ambassador of Estonia to the United Kingdom Margus Laidre who said 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 in London is a significant example of this sort of co-operation. 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.
