UK Trade & Investement (UKTI) have organised a visit to Dublin for over 50 UK companies to discuss approaches to business exports. The visit was part of an initiative by UKTI to stimulate economic growth by introducing more companies to exporting. Ireland was one of nine markets companies could visit and attracted over double the number of delegates than the next biggest market in the programme, Germany.
The two-day visit, organised by UKTI Ireland and UKTI North West, gave new and inexperienced exporters the opportunity to benefit from a programme of seminars, networking and training events, including a welcome from Dominick Chilcott British Ambassador to Ireland who also chaired on of the sessions.
Over 13 presentations were given from key stakeholders and partners of UKTI Ireland which included two UKTI North West case studies who came over especially for this event which included networking events, breakout sessions, store visits and presentations - all aimed at introducing novice and non-exporters to the principles of international trade.
