Each event will host 5 keynote speakers’ two of which will be successful international British businesses and the others Brexit experts who will discuss potential future issues as well as opportunities and trends. Following the morning sessions visitors will be able to explore the Export Advice Zones here they can access a wide range of free support tailored to the needs of their business, such as a free ‘Brexit Health Check’, or advice on how to pitch their product in China.

The Trade Horizons Roadshow is part of a wider series of activity Business West is delivering in preparation for Brexit. Last month at the company headquarters, Leigh Court, Business West teamed up with Business Showcase South West to welcome Secretary of State for International Trade, the Rt Hon Dr Liam Fox. He addressed 150 local businesses on the positive position the South West currently finds itself, in terms of export opportunity and growth.
Export for Growth and Business West also has a presence at the region’s largest business event Business Showcase South West which is returning to Ashton Gate on May 16th. Here they will be hosting a networking breakfast and be available to give advice and support to attendees throughout the day.
James Monk, Commercial Director, Business West said:
“The Trade Horizons Roadshow is another example of Business West going the extra mile to ensure companies are prepared for what Brexit brings. We’re confident that we can guide the South West through Brexit with events like this and continue to grow its export activity in the future.”
