With such a vast pool of opportunities there is no wonder that the USA is one of the UK’s strongest trading partners. This event will give businesses an insight into why this market can be so lucrative and what your business can be doing to begin trading or expand your activity in the USA.
We are proud to deliver this event alongside British American Business, who are the leading transatlantic trade organisation, and our corporate partner WTA Group, who are trusted logistics experts and well versed at helping businesses trade between the UK and USA.
