Tom Glocer collects transatlantic business award

The British Ambassador to the United States, Nigel Sheinwald, presented the award which is handed out each year by BritishAmerican Business. BABI is dedicated to helping companies connect and build their business on both sides of the Atlantic. Glocer is a member of its international advisory board.

He told guests at a dinner at the Pierre Hotel on Tuesday 3 November: “Thomson Reuters spans the Atlantic and then the world. From time to time (especially in lean times) much is made of the rivalry between New York and London as great financial centers. However, it has always seemed to me that the qualities we share in common and the links that bind us are stronger than our differences”. 

The two cities provide “a most fertile ground for a professional information company like Thomson Reuters to thrive in”, he added. “I accept this award on behalf of all my colleagues at Thomson Reuters in the hope and belief that we shall remain intertwined in the success of London and New York for many years to come”. 

Deputy chairman Niall FitzGerald is a past recipient of the award. ■
