This exclusive, invitation-only event marks the inception of a vital initiative to bolster the region’s export capabilities and celebrate its rich trading heritage.
The South West Export Club is thrilled to announce its inaugural meeting, set for 16th October from 4 PM to 6 PM at the historic Hele Antiques Centre.
For centuries, the South West has been a hub of international commerce, with ports like Bristol and Plymouth serving as gateways for exotic imports that have shaped our culture. Today, we aim to build on this legacy by empowering local businesses to thrive in the global marketplace.
The club will serve as a crucial resource for both manufacturing and service industries in the South West, helping local businesses navigate the complex world of international trade. Members will benefit from:
- Regular updates on new regulations and trade agreements
- Insights into emerging market opportunities
- Strategies to overcome export barriers
- Valuable networking opportunities with fellow exporters
- Access to expert advice and success stories
Our inaugural meeting will feature guest speaker Amanda Ringelberg from Granny Gothards, a local success story in the world of international ice cream exports. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the Hele Antiques Centre’s impressive array of historical imports while enjoying light refreshments, providing a tangible link between our trading past and future.
The Export Club recognises the vital role that international trade plays in our local economy. By fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing among exporters, we aim to strengthen the South West’s position in the global marketplace, driving innovation and economic growth.
The choice of venue is particularly fitting, as the Hele Antiques Centre showcases a diverse collection of imported artifacts, reminding us of the enduring importance of international trade to our region.
