across the pond. What Americans and Britons both call the Atlantic, as if three thousand miles of ocean were a small thing to cross.
The USA-UK Business Bridge is for American businesses that want British clients or partners, and for UK firms that want to work in the United States with someone already vouching for them.
The language is shared and the clock is five hours apart, so on paper this should be the easiest crossing there is. In practice a British buyer is wary of a confident American pitch, and an American firm cannot tell which UK contact is worth a flight. Both problems disappear when someone you both trust makes the introduction.
The two countries sound alike and decide differently. American business moves fast and rewards a bold ask. British business moves carefully and rewards being recommended. Each side of this Bridge has its own host who lives there and knows which approach works at home.

The founding UK host seat is open. One person in the UK will hold this side. Someone British business already trusts, who wants to choose the first members on their side personally and bring them across the pond.
Talk to us about itAmericans and Britons have called the Atlantic 'the pond' for well over a century, and the joke holds: with a shared language and five hours on the clock, the ocean is the easy part. The hard part is that a good firm in Atlanta and a good firm in Manchester have no way of hearing about each other, and a cold email from the other side of the pond rarely gets past the first line. An introduction from someone who knows both does.
