Welcome to the November edition of the Essex Chambers of Commerce International Trade Newsletter! As the year draws to a close, global trade continues to present both challenges and exciting opportunities for businesses across Essex. In this issue, we bring you the latest insights, updates, and resources to help you navigate the evolving international trade landscape.
It’s been a busy month for the International Trade Department. Not only have we been delivering our extensive training programme and certified documentation services, the whole department was on hand to assist with this year’s Festival of Business, the flagship event for Essex Chambers. Now it’s in third year and in a new location of Chelmsford City Racecourse it was a pleasure to work with our Essex Chambers colleagues to bring this event to over 700 attendees from the Essex business community. You can read more about recent success of the Festival on our Latest News.
Creating Global Connections
We were delighted to recently work with the British Bulgarian Business Association to bring our community the first Online Business Mixer. In a world where connections matter more than ever, this event bought together a diverse selection of international businesses to discuss opportunities and to learn more about trade activities in each region.
Nestled at the crossroads of Europe and the Middle East, Bulgaria offers a wealth of trade and investment opportunities in a diverse and dynamic economy. Bulgaria boasts a resilient economy, which is very open with foreign trade contributing to approximately 65% of GDP.
Our Online Mixers are a fantastic opportunity to expand your international networks conveniently from the comfort of your own desk. No matter where you are based, we are on hand to connect you virtually with our international contacts to help your business to grow. If you would like to be alerted to the next similar event, get in touch today to be added to our subscription lists.
Upcoming Training & Events
Recognising the importance of continuous learning, we have year-round access to great courses all conveniently accessible online. Focused on international trade best practices, regulatory compliance, and market analysis, these programs are available to both Members and Non Members to ensure everyone is equipped with the latest knowledge and skills.
