Think architects just sketch buildings? You might be wrong and here is why! 🧵👇
An architect is the ultimate bridge between your imagination and reality. When you say, “I want to build,” they help you think through crucial details you might completely miss.

I am pleased to have addressed the UK Parliament’s International Affairs Committee today on the Commonwealth’s enormous potential to transform the lives of its people through trade.
With trade costs 21% lower between members, we need the UK’s support for a Commonwealth trade agenda and forward looking investments that drive growth and bolster our democracies.
