For almost seven decades, the International Trade Club has been the cornerstone of support, connection, and collaboration for manufacturers and businesses trading internationally.

The International Trade Club continues to thrive as a dynamic hub for knowledge-sharing and strategic networking in the import and export sectors.

Founded in response to the growing globalisation of British industry, the International Trade Club has built a reputation for fostering strong, productive relationships among companies navigating international markets. From sharing practical insights on cross-border trade to learning from industry-leading guest speakers, members benefit from an environment focused on collaboration and growth.

“The International Trade Club has always been about more than just networking,” said Andrew Turner, Managing Director at Langtec Ltd. “It’s a trusted, confidential space where members can exchange real-world experiences, get up-to-date trade insights, and gain access to policymakers and international trade experts.”

Recent speakers have included senior and influential officials from government headquarters, including members of the specialist trade barriers team and the negotiation team responsible for United Kingdom trade agreements. International customs experts and successful exporters have also shared their experiences to help ensure that members remain informed and competitive in an evolving global trade environment.

As the global trade environment continues to evolve, the International Trade Club remains committed to its founding principles: fostering cooperation, promoting trade excellence, and helping UK businesses compete on the world stage.
