BEI is delighted to continue supporting the members of Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office’s SME Advisory Forum to engage with the wider SME community. Join us for our second virtual meeting led by the FCDO SME Advisory Forum members: Charles Duff, Managing Director and Vice President, Alinea International & Sue Griffiths, Managing Director, Social Development Direct. Our aim is both to ensure that members of the Advisory Forum are briefed on the full range of views of the SME supplier community and to enable them to provide feedback on the discussions after their meetings. The FCDO #SMEAdvisoryForum consists of ten members who act an industry consultative body advising FCDO officials on the #InternationalDevelopment agenda as it affects SMEs. Members include the leaders of a range of micro, small and medium-sized businesses across the FCDO supply chain. This initiative is intended to complement rather than duplicate the work of the SME Forum, and in that respect it has the support of our FCDO partners. BEI facilitates quarterly meetings, chaired by the SME Forum members, for all interested SME suppliers (BEI members and non-members equally) at which they can: 1) provide feedback on the previous Forum meeting and any updates received from the FCDO; and 2) solicit ideas for future Forum meeting agenda items and discussion.
