Con Murphy’s is an Irish Pub in Philadelphia, paying tribute to an old friend from Ireland, Con Murphy, and a tribute to the Irish community in Philadelphia.

Con was, like many an Irishman, both a gentleman and a scholar. He had a healthy aversion to work. Con never lied but was often careless with the truth and never allowed it to get in the way of a good story. He treated your money like his, but his generosity knew no bounds. Con was a raconteur and a rogue but, above all, he was a character who brought a smile to your face and warmth to your heart, which is what this Pub aims to do also.

Fellow Limerick men themselves, Liam Kelly and Maurice Collins have carved an Irish niche in Philadelphia with the help of a few Irish craftsmen. A classy yet comfortable Irish Pub experience awaits you in the Windsor Hotel on Ben Franklin Parkway. Ben and Con would have gotten along famously (and are probably trading stories as we speak).

Spring 2023 Human Interest Feature – The History & Celebration of British Coronations

Written by: Kaitlyn Rampone, Coordinator, British American Business Council of Greater Philadelphia

King Charles III will be crowned alongside Camilla, the Queen Consort on May 6, 2023, at Westminster Abbey in London. This will be the first coronation since Queen Elizabeth’s on June 2, 1953. There is a rich history surrounding the coronation ceremony in England; coronations have remained the same for more than 1,000 years. A coronation is a symbolic religious ceremony in which the monarch is crowned and formalizes their role as head of the Church of England. It marks the transfer of their title and powers. It was once a necessary stage of an individual’s journey to becoming King or Queen, but now by law immediately following the death of the current sovereign, they ascend into their role. Coronations emerged from a European tradition which called for increased church involvement in the state. It also sought to bring stability to societies where there were several individuals who had a claim to the throne. The United Kingdom is the only European monarchy that continues to retain such a ceremony.

 

There are a lot of moving pieces that take place during the coronation ceremony. The event starts with The King’s Procession that originates at Buckingham Palace and ends at Westminster Abbey. The various stages of the service include the recognition, the oath, the anointing, the investiture, and the enthronement and homage. The recognition consists of the Archbishop of Canterbury presenting the monarch to the congregation where the crowd shouts “God Save the King” followed by trumpets sounding. During the oath, the sovereign swears to uphold the law and the Church of England. Next is the anointing where the King’s ceremonial robe is taken off and he sits in the Coronation Chair. Normally, the King is then concealed with a gold cloth, but for King Charles there will be a transparent canopy in order to broadcast the anointing for the first time in history. Then during the investiture, the King is presented with the Royal orb, representing religious and moral authority; the Sceptre, representing power; and the Sovereign’s Sceptre, a rod of gold topped with a white enameled dove, a symbol of justice and mercy. The Archbishop then places St. Edward’s Crown on the King’s head. Lastly, in the enthronement and homage stage, the King leaves the Coronation Chair and moves to the throne. 

 

Following the ceremony, the King and Queen Consort will return to Buckingham Palace in a large ceremonial procession known as The Coronation Procession. Once back at Buckingham Palace they will be joined with the other members of the Royal family on the balcony to conclude the day’s ceremonial events. The day after the Coronation will consist of the Coronation Big Lunch, where neighbors and communities across Britain will be invited to share food and fun. For the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth there were more than 8,000 people from 129 nations that travelled to Westminster Abbey, but for King Charles’ Coronation there will be approximately 2,000 to accommodate health and safety restrictions.

 

The Coronation will be televised for British and international audiences to view throughout the world. The late Queen’s Coronation was the first to be televised with an estimated 27 million people in the UK watching and 11 million listening on the radio. To mark the Coronation of King Charles, there will be a bank holiday on Monday, May 8. This holiday will be observed throughout the UK, in recognition of the King’s interest in strengthening local communities. People throughout the UK will be encouraged to volunteer and join projects in their region as part of the “Big Help Out.” The Big Help Out is an organization supported by some of the UK’s largest volunteer organizations to raise awareness of volunteerism and provide people with an opportunity to make a difference within their community. The King and Queen Consort hope this will create a long-lasting legacy felt across the country.

 

The Coronation will be celebrated all over the world. The Philadelphia branch of the English-Speaking Union will be hosting their annual garden party and celebration of the Coronation at the Highlands Mansion and Gardens in Fort Washington, PA on May 6, 2023. The garden party will have everything from elegant hats, champagne served from a Rolls Royce, a Scottish Piper and Drummer, a silent auction including coronation items from George V to Charles III, and much more. Oliver St. Clair Franklin CBE, His Majesty’s Honorary Consul to Philadelphia and BABCPHL Board Member will be a featured guest. To learn more click here.

 


Spring 2023 President’s Letter

Dear BABCPHL Members and Friends,

It is rewarding and enjoyable to be hosting in-person programs and events once again. We are back in our sweet spot, doing what we do best – offering valuable and informative face-to-face meetings to help you expand your network and enhance your transatlantic business. If you attended any of our recent programs or you are reading our communications, you know BABCPHL programs are relevant and engaging.

In March we hosted A Global Economic Update featuring public and private sector industry leaders who delivered timely information about the current state of the economy here at home and abroad. Later in the month we had our Second Annual England vs. Ireland Rugby Watch Party. Both events were different in scope, but both included enthusiastic attendees. People eagerly came together to network, learn, and enjoy the occasion.

Next up on the docket is our Emerging Leaders Group UK-US Trivia & Networking Event, a US Customs & Border Protection Panel Discussion, and more! I invite you to scroll down and read through this newsletter for details.

The BABCPHL is your connector organization. Active engagement has benefits. As we always say, you get out of your membership, what you put into it. Register and attend our programs to ensure you are getting the most out of affiliation with our Group. We look forward to seeing you often during the coming days, weeks, and months. As Winston Churchill once said, “I am certainly not one of those who need to be prodded. In fact, if anything, I am the prod.” So, I am prodding all of you to come to our spring events!

Sincerely,

Howard M. Silverstone, MBE, CPA, FCA

President, British American Business Council of Greater Philadelphia

Winter 2023 Human Interest Feature – Meet the 2023 BABCPHL Executive Committee

At the dawn of the new calendar year, we are thrilled to introduce our 2023 Executive Committee, a select group of eight individuals with a very active role on the BABCPHL Board of Directors. While some of our current officers have been with us since nearly the beginning, several are newer to the Group. Notwithstanding when each person joined the BABCPHL, every officer strives to promote the business relationship between the Greater Philadelphia region and the UK. Everyone brings passion and unique skills to the table. We are fortunate to have a dynamic, accomplished, entrepreneurial and creative group leading the BABCPHL! For more than three decades, the BABCPHL has grown and thrived by promoting increased trade and investment between the UK and Southeastern Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey, and the State of Delaware. The BABCPHL Board of Directors, and the Executive Committee in particular, is the backbone of the organization, providing guidance and leadership. Individuals serving in this capacity help the BABCPHL flourish by promoting and advancing our mission.

Howard Silverstone, recently re-appointed President for a third, non-consecutive term, began his involvement with BABCPHL shortly after the organization was formed more than 30 years ago. As an expatriate British national making his way professionally and socially on this side of the Atlantic, the BABCPHL offered just what Howard wanted. Today, Howard is a Managing Director of a firm he co-founded in 2004, Forensic Resolutions. He is a CPA with more than 40 years’ experience in public and forensic accounting. Howard is also a Chartered Accountant (England and Wales) and has experience in the UK and US. As Howard’s career progressed and as the BABCPHL developed its extensive business-to-business network, the Organization became a valuable resource for Howard and also allowed him to help others build their network on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. When asked about a specific BABCPHL activity or event that stands out, Howard said, “the prior visits of members of the Royal Family have been particularly meaningful as this emphasizes our standing as a leader in promoting Transatlantic business. Also, our events with members of the British Government have also stood out as they demonstrate that the BABCPHL is a well-respected chapter.” As one of the oldest and most active British American business groups in the 22-chapter network, Howard feels fortunate to be able to forward the mission of the BABCPHL. His tenure and experience on the Executive Committee assist members in advancing their businesses through the organization, by helping them expand their contacts. 

Another long-serving British national on our Executive Committee is Ian Cross, a creative entrepreneur with more than 20 years’ experience growing and managing start-ups in technology, entertainment, and hospitality. Since 2008, Ian has served as the BABCPHL Vice President of Marketing & Communications. Ian joined the organization when he was considering expanding his client base to the UK. “The contacts and expertise of other members helped me evaluate the potential and pitfalls. Ultimately, I decided to stay focused on the USA, but would not have made such an informed decision without my BABC peers.” Ian, like several other Executive Committee members, maintains a decades-long active engagement with the Organization. “I just like to help however I can by bringing an entrepreneurial and creative industries perspective along with ideas for how we can use tech to grow and support our members. I love the BABC mission and see it as so much more than sharing business knowledge, there is also sharing cultural DNA. We all started out by asking ourselves the same questions and ended up joining.” Ian is also quoted as saying, “the high level of engagement throughout the membership group and board of directors builds a community of respect and consideration. Like any organization you will get out what you put in, so be prepared to be stimulated and challenged, and enjoy the social aspect of course!” 

The BABCPHL is a connector Association. The Group’s bread and butter is offering networking opportunities and creating valuable contacts between entities operating in both the public and private spheres on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Our current UK/US Government Liaison, past President, and long-serving Board Member, Neil Boyden Tanner, said, “through contacts made via the BABC, I had the opportunity to serve as a non-executive director of a British government trade and investment group, and was asked by the Scottish government to provide overviews for Scottish companies interested in expanding to the US, both of which experiences led to new business. Most recently the Mayor of London asked me to meet with a number of London based health technology startups. My colleagues and I learned a great deal from these companies and are in ongoing discussions with a few, and they also had the opportunity to ask questions and learn from a Fortune 20 US health services company. It was a win-win all around.” Neil, General Counsel for International Markets at Cigna, strongly believes in promoting Philadelphia as a global city. “Perhaps no international connection for our city is more important than that with the UK. By helping UK companies see the benefits of basing their US or North American operations in our area, we further advance Philadelphia as a global city, and in return help these key UK companies with access to: our amazing talent pool (fueled by 127 colleges and universities), a major technology hub (voted the #1 emerging startup ecosystem in the US), one of the most diverse and inclusive workforces in the US, the lowest office rental of 10 major metropolitan areas in the US, and a location within 40% of the US population. Plus, who can beat our great restaurants, sports teams, concerts, art museums, theaters, and the amazing Philadelphia Orchestra?!” Through his continued involvement with the BABCPHL, Neil hopes to help Philadelphia area companies see the benefits of partnering or expanding to the UK. “Like Philadelphia, the UK is a mature market, with high-spending consumers in an open economy, world-class talent, and a business-friendly regulatory environment. We are a great match for one another, and my goal is for the BABC to help British and Philadelphia area companies capitalize on this to both their advantage.” 

Another longstanding Board Member, prior BABCPHL President and current Vice President of Strategic Development, is Hope Krebs who became involved with the BABCPHL in the early 2000’s. Hope connected with the Organization when the annual global meeting of BABC chapters worldwide was being held in Philadelphia as a way to showcase the Philadelphia-London connection of her law firm, Duane Morris, which had just opened its London office. Hope’s current role as BABCPHL Vice President of Strategic Development is truly essential to our success as we navigate operations in the region and continue to enhance trade and commercial ties on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Hope is an International Tax Partner, Co-Chair of Duane Morris’ International Practice Group, and a past Chair of Multilaw, the global elite legal network with 10,000 members in more than 150 commercial centers around the world. Hope said, “over the years the BABC has helped advance my business in two key ways: (1) it has been a direct source of client referrals for me and my firm for BABC members (and their contacts) who need excellent legal and tax services throughout the US, in London and around the world and (2) it has connected me with BABC members whose assistance and services I have sought to supplement legal and tax services we are providing for our clients.” Hope brings extensive expertise, knowledge, and creativity to her current role on the Executive Committee. She is dedicated to helping the BABCPHL “accomplish its objectives and provide insights into the business community and networking, especially as we come out of our COVID-related cocoons.”  When asked why someone should be involved with the BABCPHL, Hope answered, “the BABC is the leader in providing effective cross-border business networking in the Philadelphia area. Our sole purpose for existing is to facilitate the connections that are designed to help your business succeed.” 

The pandemic impacted business operations throughout the world. Networking organizations like the BABCPHL will assist in the rebuilding process as everyone re-emerges. The BABCPHL was lucky to have an outstanding group of people serving in leadership roles to guide the Organization through such a challenging time. Navigating the post-pandemic world also creates obstacles. Current BABCPHL Treasurer, Jason Walker, Managing Partner for Cross Border Financial Planning USA, provides financial planning and investment advice for globally mobile individuals and families, including Americans abroad and British expatriates residing in the USA. Jason and his team, work with accountants and attorneys who provide advice to similar clientele. “By referring within our network, we ensure the client receives complementary advice from financial, tax, and legal perspectives. The BABC has been invaluable to me in developing this network locally and engaging with other member firms whose expertise and service is highly regarded in the cross-border space.” Jason is looking forward to taking on a new role in 2024 as the next BABCPHL President. When asked about what he hopes to accomplish serving on the Executive Committee, he stated, “My goal is to assist the BABC move forward in a post-pandemic world, in which the networking and the business environment has changed greatly. I want to continue the excellent work of the people who served before me, who grew the organization to become one of the most respected international networking organizations within Philadelphia. By supporting the BABC, we are supporting international trade and business between the UK ad USA, and specifically the Greater Philadelphia area.” As an expatriate British national residing and working in Philadelphia, Jason says, “there is an element of pride in helping UK businesses establish themselves in the US and supporting the local economy.” 

Another newer board member is Remy Nshimiyimana, Partner at Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath. Remy works with domestic and foreign clients to ensure their strategic objectives in mergers and acquisitions and equity financing transactions are executed timely and effectively. Remy has been affiliated with the BABCPHL since 2019. He was born in Rwanda and emigrated to the United States in 2004. Remy’s educational portfolio includes degrees from Rowan College, The University of Pennsylvania, and Sciences Po in Paris, in addition to a Doctor of Law from The University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School. The opportunity to collaborate with a community that fosters transatlantic partnerships between businesses and civic leaders was something Remy sought when joining the BABCPHL. Having Remy on the Executive Committee with his vast knowledge and background is an asset to our organization. Remy brings fresh ideas and a positive outlook to the BABCPHL Executive Committee. He stated, “the pandemic brought many new opportunities for firms to think ‘outside the box.’ At Faegre Drinker, we harnessed the power of technology and collaboration to focus on innovation, efficiency and, most importantly, connecting with clients and colleagues in new and creative ways.” 

The BABCPHL thrives due to a dedicated core of involved businesses and individuals who actively serve on the Executive Committee. In 2023, this group is comprised of a dynamic group of people, some who are newer to their roles, and some who have been involved for many years. Vice President of Membership, Michael Pedrick, Partner at Morgan, Lewis, & Bockius, one of the founding member Firms of the BABCPHL, is another example of someone who has supported the organization for multiple decades. Focusing primarily on finance, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate restructuring, At Morgan Lewis, Michael represents borrowers in financing transactions and corporate clients in strategic acquisitions and internal restructuring. Throughout his tenure, Michael has served as Secretary and President. He is the BABCPHL Board Member most familiar with our bylaws, legal operations, and our affiliate relationship with the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia. Currently, Michael stepped into the role of Vice President of Membership. As the BABCPHL returns to normal operations, membership development is a key factor for stability and growth. Michael’s extensive experience and dedication to the Organization perfectly position him to help us retain current members and to grow.  

Another integral member of the Executive Committee is Efe Izilein Sokol. In her role with the Welsh Government, Efe represents Wales’ interests in the Northeast of the United States. Efe has been an active board member for nearly ten years, and currently serves as the Programs & Events Chair. BABCPHL programing is a vital part of our organization. Events about current issues affecting the trade and commercial relationship between our region and the UK keep our members engaged, current, and connected with one another. The BABCPHL serves both public and private entities. Collaboration between for profit businesses and government groups are particularly important in the post-pandemic world. Efe is helping us vigorously reinstate our in-person programing with relevant and engaging topics. With Efe’s guidance, we can offer our members valuable strategic information and leading expert connections to help our members navigate the current UK-US business climate.  

The BABCPHL is extremely grateful to the Executive Committee and the entire Board of Directors for continuously offering their support and counsel to the organization. We are excited to embark on a new calendar year of operations in collaboration with the 2023 leadership committee. We look forward to growing membership and offering in-person events. Many thanks, and welcome to the 2023 BABCPHL Executive Committee!
