Steve Allen, head of the Birmingham office of law firm Mills & Reeve, has been appointed president of the British-American Business Council (BABC) at its annual conference in New York.

The BABC, which has its secretariat in New York, is the largest transatlantic business network, with 20 chapters and more than 2,000 member companies based in business centres throughout North America and the United Kingdom.

Its members include many of the world’s multinationals, as well as hundreds of middle market and smaller companies.

Mr Allen has been involved with the BABC as a member of the executive committee of the Birmingham chapter since 2007.

He has sat on the BABC’s executive committee in New York, as a representative of all the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ chapters, since 2009 and became vice president of the organisation in 2013.

Mr Allen played a pivotal role in bringing the BABC’s annual transatlantic conference to Birmingham in 2013.

The event saw more than 300 delegates attend a two-day conference at the International Convention Centre, with support from the Greater Birmingham Chamber of Commerce and Marketing Birmingham.

Mr Allen said: “It’s a huge honour to take up this role at a time when the US and the EU are exploring the removal of custom duties and other restrictions to make it easier for companies to invest and get better access to markets.”
