Liverpool Chamber sets up export centre

A DEDICATED export centre has been set up in Liverpool to help businesses considering international trade.

The city’s Chamber of Commerce has established the centre with Export Britain, an online export resource from the British Chambers of Commerce’s (BCC), at its Old Hall Street headquarters.

The centre provides information on high growth markets, opportunities for training, events, and advice from a team of international trade specialists.

Barclays, which has sponsored the facility and will also run a series of clinics.

Andy Snell, director of international trade at the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, said: “Our overall objective is to encourage businesses in Liverpool to get exporting. Inspired by the UKTI Export week and the national Export Britain campaign, our main incentive is to provide a one-stop-shop for established exporters in need of support and to those looking to expand into new foreign markets.

“It makes sense for the Chamber’s international trade team to have a space dedicated to offering this line of advice and help. We’re pleased we have enlisted the support in Barclays who have been instrumental in us introduce these unique facilities.”
