Image by UKPiA.The UK Professionals in Australia networking group will be holding another networking event, combined with a professional wine tasting, on Friday 3 September at Circular Quay, Sydney. A leading wine expert, Ben Hughes is taking the group through eight wines in a fun, networking environment. The keynote speaker for this event is Sir Andrew Cahn - The CEO of UK Trade & Investment (UKTI), who is visiting Australia for the first time since 2006.

The group was founded by British-born, locally based, businessmen Steve Hobbs and Tim Lea who recognised that the thousands of British businesspeople who arrive in Australia each year needed a way to meet people quickly in an informal atmosphere. Following a very successful launch in July at the British Consul General's Residence, Sydney, the group has grown quickly and is now over 550 professionals including CEOs and senior managers of major British and Australian companies based in Australia. The intention is to grow the group to over 1000 professionals in the next few months.
