The national online resource provides Chamber members across the UK with access to a wide range of support services and expert advice, information on opportunities to learn about high growth markets, opportunities to get connected both in the UK and overseas and information on export training, events and trade missions.
John Bridge OBE, Chief Executive of Cambridgeshire Chambers of Commerce, said: “For many years here in Cambridgeshire we have been urging our members to consider new marketplaces and extend their network of contacts overseas through our International Sector seminars and the monthly Cambridgeshire Export Club. We ourselves provide a vast range of services to assist companies in getting their goods to market, whether it be the processing of the necessary export documentation or translations services or specialist training provisions. Clearly the message is getting through and businesses are harnessing those opportunities as we saw a 38 per cent increase in the value of export documentation processed in the three months to September 2013 compared to the previous year, but there is still much more we can all do.”
Monday marked the start of national Export Week, designed to celebrate the exporting successes achieved by UK firms, and to encourage more businesses to take their first step towards ‘going global’. Chambers of Commerce are the largest private sector providers of international trade services in the UK, and are committed to helping businesses find new markets and trade the world.
Nora Senior, President of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), added: “We believe that
export growth must be a national priority, both for government and businesses. UK exporters are more optimistic now about their prospects, with confidence higher than it has been since before the economic crisis. But we need more companies that haven’t considered exporting to have a go, and start saying yes to the opportunities that exist in new markets across the globe.
“Chambers of Commerce are here to support firms every step of the way, to help them make in-roads and connections in new countries and provide practical assistance such as training and export documentation. But businesses and government must be more ambitious for Britain. Both need to show leadership and join forces to kick-start a global trade revolution, which will help to secure a lasting economic recovery for decades to come.” __________________________________________
