Anne Sherriff has been appointed as the next UK Ambassador to the Kingdom of Belgium, succeeding Martin Shearman CVO, who will come to the end of his term during the summer. Ms. Sherriff is expected to assume her new responsibilities during September 2024.

Prior to her appointment as His Majesty’s Ambassador to the Kingdom of Belgium, Anne has served as the Interim Deputy Trade Commissioner for Europe and Country Director France in Paris. Previously she held positions including Deputy Director in the Europe Directorate and the Head of the EU/Global Issues Section, both within the Foreign & Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO.)

BBCA will be sad to say ‘au revoir/ tot ziens’ to Martin, but looks forward to working with Anne when she starts her role in Brussels.
