BCRPM welcomes two new members: Avgoustinos Galiassos and George Gabriel.
Avgoustinos Galiassos came to the UK in 2003 to pursue his master’s degree in Supply Chain Management at Warwick University. From the very beginning he committed himself to the Greek Community while at the same time holding positions of high responsibility within multinational Companies such as Coca-Cola, Bloomberg, British Biscuits Manufacturer McVities and British Tea Company Finlays, in the areas of strategy, innovation, supply chain management and product management.
Avgoustinos is the founder of Ellines sto Londino / Greeks in London with more than 67,000 members. He also hosts a weekly TV show with Greek professionals on Hellenic TV, the only Greek language television channel in operation, outside Greece and Cyprus, since 1990.
Having spent time within the Greek Community since his early days in London, he soon realised how vital it was to connect Greek businesses and professionals with Greek and UK residents, and vice versa for the common good, as well as connecting Greece in the UK.
Using his personal experience moving from Greece to the United Kingdom, Avgoustinos created a Greek List Group: Greeklist.co.uk, which has a complete Business Listings website of Greek companies & professionals in the United Kingdom.
