China and the Far East are key markets for a number of companies in the Thames Valley. And yet more businesses are manufacturing their products there and selling them in the UK.

Regional businesses that are working in China and the Far East are invited to a special roundtable seminar in Reading later this month.

The event at the office of business adviser Crowe is also supported by Charles Kendall Freight and currency specialists HiFX.

Emerging markets will start to dominate the world’s economies by 2050. Recent research shows China ranking at number 1 while Indonesia is expected to jump up to number four.

Vietnam and the Philippines will see the greatest upward moves in GDP by 2050.

  • You can attend the roundtable as either a panel member or as an audience observer (where you can contribute questions if you wish).
  • The discussion will be followed by networking with fellow directors and business leaders.
  • The roundtable is sponsored by leading audit, tax, advisory and risk firm Crowe UK; Charles Kendall Freight, the global freight forwarders; and HiFX, the international currency experts, and staged by The Business Magazine.
