Gibraltar Government London Office
The London office is responsible for all matters pertaining to Gibraltar in the UK.
The Gibraltar Government London representative is Mr Albert Poggio OBE who is also director of the Gibraltar Tourist Board, Vice Chairman of the Calpe House Trust, Chairman of the UK Overseas Territories Association, Director of the Friends of Gibraltar Heritage and a Director of MedCruise, the association of Mediterranean Ports.
The London office works very closely with both Houses of Parliament and is responsible for the implementation of the Ministry for Tourism & Transport’s policy for the development of tourism to Gibraltar from the UK and farther afield. This includes the promotion of Gibraltar’s port and developing the cruise market in addition to the growing conference and incentive sector.
The UK activities relating to the Finance Centre under the direction of the DTI are also co-ordinated through the London base.
The well-being and care of Gibraltar patients required to travel to the UK for specialist medical treatment is an important role for the London office. Calpe House, the residential home used by these patients and their escorts, plus patient support, is provided under the Government of Gibraltar sponsored medical scheme.
The Strand offices provide a contract point for the Gibraltar Heritage Society. The Society supports all matters relating to the Gibraltar Heritage Trust. A limited range of souvenir items such as books and special edition stamps are available for sale from the offices in the Strand.
