The opening day of Hannover Messe 2013 in Germany on Monday 8th April witnessed the signing of a unique trade agreement between the German and British Governments, completed on the bonnet of a Union-Jack-decked Mini Cooper. Before returning to Berlin, Simon McDonald CMG, the British Ambassador to Germany (right in both photographs below) accompanied by Daniel Rutstein, Director of Trade & Investment, made an impromptu tour of UK Exhibitors in Hall 4 including Precision Ceramics where he was greeted on stand by Geoff Randle and Ben Staniforth (2nd and 3rd from left).
