South Korean government and investors’ party impressed by Liverpool prospects
Developer Peel Holdings hopes to build on links with prospective investors from South Korea, after a presentation by inward investment agency The Mersey Partnership (TMP) at Liverpool’s London embassy.
The Wednesday event was attended by the Republic of Korea’s Ambassador, His Excellency Mr Kyu Ho Choo, the Korean Trade and Investment Agency (KOTRA) and several world-ranking Korean companies, including car maker Hyundai, electronics giant Samsung and Asiana Airlines.
It followed talks initiated six months ago by TMP.
Peel development director Lindsey Ashworth outlined their £10bn plans for Liverpool and Wirral Waters, and said: “Their interest was such that there will be further meetings over the summer, all to take this to the next stage.”
His Excellency the Ambassador said: “I am confident that today will herald the accord of even greater numbers of new prospects and partnerships for growth in the future.”
TMP will now set up visits to the region, said chief executive Lorraine Rogers.
