Rebecca Egan, International Sales Administrator, at Haslingden’s Interfloor Ltd, has successfully completed the National Foundation Award in International Trade Qualification.
Awarded by East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, the accreditation demonstrates Rebecca’s exceptional understanding of international trade practices, and commitment to her own professional development.
“Since August 2023, I have been an integral part of the Interfloor team, the leading manufacturer of carpet underlay and flooring accessories in Europe.
“My role within the Export department has been incredibly rewarding, allowing me to thrive in a dynamic work environment and expand my expertise into new areas.”
Interfloor are Europe’s largest manufacturer of carpet underlay and flooring accessories, exporting internationally to over 400 customers in over 80 countries. The world’s best-known hotels regularly use Interfloor underlays, along with numerous mosques, cinemas, casinos and airports.
Reflecting on the journey to her achievement, Rebecca said:
“During my time at Interfloor, I have actively participated in various training programmes, including recent sessions at East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce.
“These courses have not only equipped me with valuable skills but have also earned me a qualification which is the National Accredited Trade Training Foundation Award in International Trade.
“The collaboration between the East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce and Interfloor has been instrumental in supporting my professional development.”
The National Foundation Award in International Trade Qualification, accredited by the British Chamber of Commerce, is a comprehensive programme designed to equip businesses up and down the country with a highly skilled workforce ready to take on international markets.
This service was developed in response to the government’s focus on the need to grow the number of UK exporters as part of the UK recovery plan.
The programme offers a series of eleven centrally accredited courses covering a core export skills curriculum, central to support any export drive. Mapped to Level 2 NVQ terminology, they provide invaluable basic skills for small and large companies alike.
Mandy Lockett, International Business Director at East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, commented:
“Congratulations to Rebecca on her exceptional accomplishment, attaining the National Accredited Trade Training Foundation Award in International Trade by completing all 6 modules.
“We trust that Rebecca enjoyed the training sessions and armed with this wealth of knowledge, now approaches her role at Interfloor with increased confidence and expertise.
“To further support her ongoing professional development, we highly recommend that Rebecca join the International Trade Club. This invaluable platform offers space for both new and seasoned professionals to explore the latest developments in International Trade and a trove of insights from members actively involved in exporting and importing.”
