Many thanks for attending our Accessing London Capital Markets Forum.

The event was enjoyed by all those who attended on the day; commenting on how they welcomed the opportunity to meet in an informal & independent forum and learn about the benefits, procedures, rules and regulations for listing on the London Stock Exchange.

Special thanks to the British Embassy Bangkok and our sponsors Bedell Trust, Cenkos Securities, Collas Crill, Crowe Clark Whitehill and Stephenson Harwood; without their support, this event would not have been possible.

We look forward to seeing you again soon!
