opening act

Tuesday 15th July 2014

On 19 june 2014, the hungarian ambassador, peter szabadhegy, appointed me as hungary's newest honorary consul, making me somehow a member of the diplomatic corps and the proud owner of a foreign and commonwealth office card, a large brass plate, an impressive official stamp, a signed letter from the hungarian foreign minister and two enormous (hungarian and eu) flags. It also brought various duties, though in the main for me it is about trade and investment, both ways, and broader connectivity (see 20 june, hungary in manchester for more).
