Dear achternaam,

EXPRESSION OF INTEREST

About British Business Group Vietnam (BBGV)

BBGV has been operating for over 20 years. It is the accredited British Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam and has two business units; BBGV and the Business Centre. While the BBGV provides traditional chamber services to its members such as events and briefing the Business Centre provides services aimed at UK companies considering to trade or invest in Vietnam. The current website domain is www.bbgv.org

Scope of Work

BBGV would like to have a single website but with two clear frameworks for both the BBGV and Business Centre activities.

The purpose:

Target Audience: UK companies considering development into the Vietnam market and also for the BBGV member companies already operating in Vietnam, that require information on our services and business support

Website activities and objectives: The website needs to be an easy accessible gateway for both new UK companies and also for our current member companies that want access to information on our services. Eventually we would like it to become an efficient channel to promote the UK-VN trade relationship and be a portal for BBGV membership and sponsorship.
