Hosted by Her Majesty’s Consul General in New York, Danny Lopez, at the offices of Shutterstock in the Empire State Building, the event celebrated the success of British technology companies in New York and the growth of the UK as an international tech hub.
The Mayor of New York Bill de Blasio was among the number of VIPs, dignitaries and high profile businesses that attended the reception and Joshua Gould met with many of them during the reception.
