As part of the mission entitled 'The West Channel Initiative', launched by His Excellency Sir John Holmes (British Ambassador to France) last October, a Franco-British meeting day was held on the 19th June at the British Embassy in Paris. SMC Electroncis had the pleasure of presenting its products and services, along with approximately 30 other exhibitors, in the attractive surroundings of the Embassy gardens.

The objective of the day was not only for the exhibitors to present their services but also to strengthen the links between enterprises and institutional entities from both sides of the channel.

For us at SMC, it also provided an ideal opportunity to display a pre-launch range of prototype products – intelligent tracking and GPS systems – which will soon represent an entirely new activity branch for the group. We were very pleased to see the high level of interest shown in our group’s activity by a wide variety of visitors.

The Embassy’s commercial section has been a reliable and helpful support service to SMC since the creation of our French operations base in 1995. In return, we remain very supportive of their efforts and look forward to future exchange events of this positive nature.

The day was pleasurably concluded by an invitation to the annual ceremony in honour of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
