Driving Transatlantic Business
BritishAmerican Business of New York and London (BritishAmerican Business) is the leading
transatlantic business organization, dedicated to helping its members
build their international business.
We stand at the heart of the business relationship between the US and the
UK and Continental Europe, with a membership of more than 700 companies
