“I’ve attended countless International Trade Club Breakfast Meetings. I would come regardless of the topic because there’s always something useful. From a networking perspective, it’s great to be around people in similar situations, even if they’re not in the same industry. For instance, today I sat with two new people—one supplies something we’re currently buying from Italy, and the other does freight forwarding, which we use regularly. I’ve already made connections, exchanged business cards, and received valuable information.”
Laura Sieczkowski, Managing Director – Mantle Packaging Machinery LTD
“The HMRC updates are crucial for staying compliant with regulations, and the sessions on exporting goods provide clear guidance on best practices. Additionally, the guest speakers bring a wealth of experience and new perspectives that are incredibly beneficial.”
Joanne Farley, Senior Management Accountant – Flavour Warehouse LTD
The International Trade Club is managed for its members by the East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, sponsored by Forbes Solicitors and PM+M Solutions for Business LLP and is exclusive to businesses importing or exporting. The oldest Export Club in the UK established in 1957 and still going strong
