About our sponsor: Bank of China

Established in 1929, Bank of China London Branch is the first business established by any Chinese institution in an international financial centre. Its history in the UK perfectly illustrates the international journey of China’s modern financial services industry.

Over the past 96 years, Bank of China has expanded steadily in the UK and has become the first choice for both Chinese ‘going-out’ customers and local UK customers seeking to establish relationships with China, with branches in London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Glasgow.

The Bank, now with nearly 900 employees, has total assets of over £45 billion. It has successfully launched EMA Syndication Center, London Commodity Center, London Trading Center, and Debt Capital Markets Center. The London Branch is taking a leading role amongst UK based Chinese financial institutions and is developing itself into one of the mainstream foreign banks in the EMEA market.
