How will changes in Britain’s trade policy relationships impact on your business
- Brexit, Customs Unions, Free Trade Agreements, Regulation, Market Liberalisation all have an impact for companies trading internationally. We will aim to demystify these terms and assess the implications for business.
- We will explore how Britain’s future Free Trade Agreements will impact business, the future of Trading Blocs, operating within global Customs Unions and how to spot opportunities as markets liberalise and de-regulate.
The changing nature of global supply chains and the impact on exporters and importers
- The current political uncertainty facing the UK is leading to changes in global sourcing and supply chains.
- This panel will assess how Brexit is impacting exporters and importers and European and global supply chains and how businesses can effectively respond.
- We will explore how to diversify supply chains to reduce risks, make better use of trade finance in the management of supply chains and benefit from hearing case studies from major global manufacturing businesses and SME suppliers who have reconfigured their operations in response to new world trends.
