In this edition of our International Trade Forum, delivered in partnership with Lloyds Bank, we will cover how to manage your global supply chain efficiently whilst managing the risks of exporting/importing.
In this current economic landscape, with ongoing global recovery efforts following the Covid pandemic and the simultaneous rise in inflation and interest rates worldwide, UK businesses need to reassess their global supply chain management strategies to effectively mitigate risks.
Our quarterly International Trade Forums give GM Businesses a platform to gain insights on the latest international trade development - join us to learn how the Chamber can help take you to the next phase of your growth!
Our team and partners will also be available after the event for 1-2-1 meetings should you wish to discuss your personal challenges. You can book your slot in the registration form.
