SEOUL, November 01 (AJP) - The British Embassy in Seoul hosted an investment blitz at Broughton's Club in central Seoul on Thursday.

About 40 South Korean business representatives from various sectors gathered at the event to explore future investment opportunities in the U.K. while enjoying Aberlour single malt Scotch whisky.

Experts from the embassy provided comprehensive guidance and insights on key business areas such as electric vehicles, batteries, and new technologies.

Chris Hay, responsible for business investment at the embassy, said, "It was a pleasure to host an event where investors interested in the U.K. could learn more about how we can assist them while also enjoying the flavors of Aberlour Scotch whisky from Scotland's Speyside region."

He added, "We remain committed to promoting the U.K. as one of the most viable destinations for South Korean investors. Companies interested in exploring investment opportunities are always welcome to reach out to us."

The embassy recently launched a service for investors and companies seeking to make forays into the U.K. under the slogan of "Expand Your Business in the U.K."

Known for its open economy, skilled workforce, and business-friendly regulations, the U.K. is considered a prime destination for starting or growing a business.
