Businesses in and around the South East will have the chance to find
out more about moving into overseas markets at seven seminars being
run at locations across the region in March by UK Trade & Investment
(UKTI) South East.
At each seminar there will be hotspot sessions covering topics that
often cause concern for both experienced and new exporters,
including: securing payments, managing overseas partners, exhibiting
effectively abroad, the crucial new customs regulations, and sales
leads. And alongside the seminars there will be small exhibitions at
which firms can meet a variety of organisations that can provide
information and advice about how to best develop their business
overseas.
The seminar dates and locations are:
Thistle Hotel, Brands Hatch, near Dartford: Tuesday 6 March 2007
South Lodge Hotel, near Horsham: Wednesday 7 March 2007
Bletchley Park, Milton Keynes: Tuesday 13 March 2007
Kassam Stadium, Oxford: Wednesday 14 March 2007
Newbury Racecourse, Berkshire: Thursday 15 March 2007
The Rosebowl, Southampton: Wednesday 21 March 2007
Mercedes-Benz World, Weybridge, Surrey: Thursday 22 March 2007
Chris Innes, executive manager at UKTI, said: "In so many cases,
moving into an overseas market is essential for a firm's successful
expansion. Our programme of seminars will help businesses throughout
the South East find out how to take that next step. By working with
our partner organisations we have ensured that a wide range of topics will be covered, so businesses of all shapes and sizes should be able to find out information that will help them grow."
