Meeting the Lord Mayor of London
Alderman Stuttard, whose role includes promoting the use of UK-based financial services worldwide, met with Tony Goulbourn and Trevor Kelly , chairman and chief executive of Pro-South Yorkshire, which promotes the professional expertise available in the Sheffield city region.
Hailing Pro-SY as “an excellent partnership organisation”, he said it had created a mechanism which could be used by professional firms to tap into the overseas market.

“The UK-based financial services industry has more clout worldwide than it has ever had. It manages 3.5 trillion of funds; carries out 50 percent of the world’s ship brokering; 90 percent of the world’s trade in metals and 25 percent of the world’s aviation and marine insurance,” he added.
He urged Pro-SY members to work with others who had already penetrated overseas markets.
