New online forum for South East Companies

A new website facility from UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) offers practical benefits - it allows South East exporting companies to engage in an ongoing dialogue, sharing experiences and tapping into each other's knowledge of dealing with the challenges of international trade.

UKTI South East's International Trade Forum went live in mid August and can be viewed here.

It is aimed primarily at companies in the South East and access to the site to upload views, information and questions is determined by postcode. However, companies everywhere can view the content.

If you would like more information please call UKTI South east on 0845 278 9600.
