In light of recent developments concerning COVID-19, the Finnish-British Chamber of Commerce has made the decision to cancel any upcoming events for March and April, including Nordic Drinks and the Easter Feast at Ekte. This was a joint decision made with the other organising Nordic Chambers of Commerce. We apologise for any inconveniences caused by this.
We have a responsibility to our members and staff to keep them safe and we do not wish to cause people additional stress during this time. We will reassess again for our events in May, if needed.
Please see respective government’s advice relating to the virus, in Finland and the United Kingdom. Below you can find some links with useful information on the topic (Updated 23.03.2020).
