From London, MexCC charts a global course for Mexico

by Andrew Law.

There’s something energising about a well-calibrated relaunch — especially when the setting is a warm London terrace on a summer’s evening, and the ambition on display is global. This week, the Mexican Chamber of Commerce in Great Britain (MexCC), which I’m happy to note The Mexico Brief is officially partnered with, reintroduced itself not just with new branding, but with a revitalised vision: Mexico, connected to the world through London.

Originally founded in 2011, the Chamber has long served as a bridge for trade and culture. But as its Honorary Chairman Yves Hayaux du Tilly noted during the relaunch event at The In & Out Club, the new MexCC operates as more than a network: “We are building a movement… giving Mexico a stronger voice, a strategic presence, and a platform to lead globally from London.”

It’s an audacious goal – but not an unfounded one. The new model, built on pillars of investment, trade, culture, and technology, frames Mexico not as a peripheral player, but as a central force in a world increasingly defined by shifting alliances and cross-continental innovation.

There’s structure to back the rhetoric. A new governance framework connects senior advisors with young professionals. Meanwhile, services like MexConnect and MexTradeHub offer members the chance to network, create market traction and acquire strategic intelligence.

The Chamber is leaning into London’s role as a global finance and innovation hub, positioning Mexican companies to scale with European capital and international partnerships. As María Ariza, CEO of BIVA, put it, “Connecting Mexican companies with UK and European capital is essential.”

There has always been huge opportunity to deepen the UK and Mexico’s commercial and cultural exchange. Now there’s a credible forum to do just that. Gabriel Anguiano, MexCC’s Chairman, put it in succinct terms: “What emerges now is not just a relaunch -- but a reinvention.”

One to watch. One to join.
