Born out of a desire to highlight the UK’s world-renowned culture and enterprise in Asia’s World City, Best of British is a first-of-its-kind event in Hong Kong.
Endorsed by the British Consulate-General, Hong Kong and the British Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, Best of British comprises a series of inspiring events and consumer campaigns that have been designed to promote British brands and figures and entertain the Hong Kong public.
The full programme of events is designed, managed and produced by the Best of British Board, a hand-picked selection of notable names and personalities from the spheres of government, business and entertainment. Private sector sponsorship and partnerships between stakeholders is essential to the growth of Best of British, which delivers commercial and charitable success.
Best of British is simply a celebration of the lifestyle aspects that together have helped put the ‘Great’ in Great Britain. Created by Hong Kong-based TCOB Media, with the support of the British Consulate-General, Hong Kong, in addition to that of a number of the United Kingdom’s best-known brands and companies, Best of British will entertain the Hong Kong public with a variety of unique cultural and sporting events as well as retail and dining promotions.
