Our senior export adviser, Mike Strawson, represented Chamber International by manning a stand at the Global Trade Review (GTR) UK Trade and Export Finance conference in Birmingham on June 9.
His attendance flew the flag for West and North Yorkshire Chambers of Commerce and Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership’s We are International campaign in a range of debates on encouraging new exporters, improving access to markets, and ensuring availability of trade finance and export credit insurance.
Mike Strawson, a fellow of the Institute of Export, also promoted Chamber International’s specialist role in assisting experienced and novice exporters through lobbying, training, documentation and a wide range of specialist advice.
The delegates, comprising business people, financiers and export professionals from throughout the UK, expressed interest in the growing global chamber network offer delivered through the UK Government’s International UK Business Network - formerly OBNi.
