Energy exploration tops agenda of UK trade envoy visit to Kenya

NAIROBI, KENYA: Lord Clive Hollick, the UK’s Trade envoy to Kenya and Tanzania, will be visiting Kenya from 17-19 February, 2016, to discuss the key elements of UK-Kenya trade and to explore the growing spectrum of trade and investment opportunities for the UK in Kenya’s renewable energy sector.  

The UK is a leading export market for Kenya, and is at the forefront of key industries including horticulture, hydrocarbon development, finance and telecoms. Tourism and agriculture are Kenya’s top two earning sectors, making the UK a major contributor to the Kenyan economy. UK companies are also leading the way in the oil and gas sector, in partnership with the Government of Kenya.
