Chance for Rotherham firms to learn more about world trade

ROTHERHAM businesses are being given the chance to find out more about opportunities to trade internationally at a workshop next month.

Organised by RiDO (Rotherham Investment & Development Office) and UK Trade & Investment (UKTI), the International Trade Workshop will be held at Fusion Business Centre on Magna Way in Rotherham on October 8 from 10am to 1pm.

The workshop will be led by Simon Bedford, an expert advisor from UK Trade & Investment, who will provide information on how Rotherham businesses can start selling their products and services to new overseas markets, or increase sales to existing international markets.

He will also speak about what advice and support is available in Rotherham to help businesses to increase their export sales.

Julia Millea will also explain how the Rotherham’s “soft landing zone” works, offering support to Rotherham companies with accessing international markets and helping foreign inward investors who choose to locate to RiDO’s business centres.

RiDO is the only Soft Landing Zone in the UK, alongside 23 others across the world.

To book a place, contact Julia Millea by email at [email protected] or call 07810 151953.
