As part of International Trade Week, Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce is hosting a series of webinars aimed at highlighting key opportunities around the world for UK businesses.
Our Monday session will focus on Europe.
Why Europe?
Despite a decline in trade volumes following the UK leaving the European Union in 2021, the EU is still the UK’s largest trading partner with goods and services worth £650 billion exchanged every year. As of 2023, the EU accounted for 42% of our exports and 52% of our imports – highlighting the importance of continuing to grow our relationship with the continent.
Focusing on both Central and Northern Europe, our local Approved Suppliers will present some of the key opportunities in Europe and how UK businesses can make the most of our closest trading partner.
