Professor Anand Menon, a leading expert on the UK’s relationship with Europe, will offer a fresh perspective on future relations at the BMF Annual Members Conference in September.

Menon, who co-authored the book Brexit and British Politics, is a Professor of European Politics and Foreign Affairs at King’s College London, and serves as Director of the think tank UK in a Changing Europe.

Additionally, he was appointed this year as a Director at Public First, a policy, research, and strategy consultancy. He has spent over thirty years researching and teaching British and European politics at leading universities and is also a regular commentator on TV, radio, and in the national press.

At the BMF Members Conference, Menon will share his insights into the UK’s future relationship with its closest neighbour and most significant trading partner, explore the changing nature of the EU itself, and consider the broader global implications of European political shifts.

John Newcomb, BMF CEO, said: “The UK’s relationship with Europe is more relevant than ever, especially in this time of global uncertainty and conflict. Understanding how the EU is evolving and what that means for the UK is crucial—not just for our industry but for everyone interested in stability and prosperity. I’m delighted that Professor Menon will discuss these vital topics at our conference.”

The BMF Annual Members Conference and Awards will take place at the Belfry Hotel and Resort in Sutton Coldfield on 16 and 17 September.
