Mexico Matters at the World Trade Centre

 

Should BRIC — the acronym that groups together the fast-growing economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China — be BRIMC? Jim O'Neill, the Goldman Sachs economist who coined the term in 2001, has always said that Mexico has the potential to become as big as the BRICs.

According to a 2007 study by Goldman Sachs, the world's top 10 economies in 2050 will be:

1. China
2. United States
3. India
4. Brazil
5. Mexico
6. Russia
7. Indonesia
8. Japan
9. United Kingdom
10. Germany

Tomorrow, the World Trade Centre Hull & Humber will be hosting a "Mexico Matters" event from 2pm to 5pm. The line-up of speakers includes John Franck, the head of trade and investment at the British embassy in Mexico City. Language is Everything will be there, too, along with our WTC partners such as UKTI and Andrew Jackson solicitors.

Language is Everything releases its 2009 results

Language is Everything has released its provisional year-end results for 2009: a turnover of £1,592,144 is the highest in the company's 18-year history. The board of directors said:

"Our provisional results for 2009 show a continuation of our long-term organic growth. Our business plans have always been built around solid and dependable customer service, and we value stability above rapid growth. We do not employ any salespeople — we prefer to grow by word of mouth — and we are careful about which contracts and tenders we bid for. Our focus is on our customers: we provide high quality, highly bespoke services, and we work hard at building successful long-term partnerships."
