Meido Consultants MD David Rubens was part of a UKTI Trade Mission to the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics and the Kazan 2013 Student Olympiade Organising Committees from 8th-12th March.

The presentation can be found in English and in Russian, and participants were also given a Russian copy of Meido’s report into the Christmas Day Delta Airlines attack. Special thanks to the British Embassy’s Trade Minister Counsellor Caroline Wilson and Senior Advisor Irina Karabanova, as well as to Mission Leaders Jon Tibbs of JT Associates and Nigel Peters of British Expertise.
