Why Every Week Should Be Export Week

Another hugely successful Export Week is over but our drive to increase exports is not. As far as we at UKTI are concerned every week has to be export week if we are to grow our economy.

6 June 2011

An opportunity to get all your burning export questions answered!

Peter Hogarth, International Trade Director for UK Trade & Investment East Midlands, will be giving companies throughout the East Midlands expert export advice during a live one hour Q&A session through his twitter account @UKTI_PHogarth on Friday 10 June, from 9am, with the #askUKTIPeter

The breakfast Q&A will give local companies and partners the chance to ask questions following the release of the latest quarterly international trade statistics on Thursday 9 June. He's doing this to help local firms make the most of export opportunities: exporting is vital for the British economy to grow.

Any local companies that have any exporting questions, from knowing whether your ball bearings will sell in Brazil, to how to sell textiles in Tallinn to shipping scarves to Sicily, should simply tweet your question with #askUKTIPeter to @UKTI_PHogarth until 9.45am on Friday 10 June.
