Businesses
in the Marches trading internationally are being
invited to a Get Ready for Brexit workshop to help them prepare for
Britain’s exit from the EU.
The
Marches Growth Hub has joined forces with the Department for
International Trade and Department for Business, Energy and
Industrial Strategy to hold the event on October 18 at Shrewsbury
Town Football Club.
The
practical workshop will see businesses leave with a personalised
action plan covering the paperwork
needed to continue exporting, expected impact to supply chains and
changes to regulations and contracts.
International
trade experts will explain where businesses can find tariff
information, commodity codes and duty rates and what issues business
owners may need to speak to customers and employees about.
Chairman
of the Marches Growth Hub, Paul Hinkins, said: "The Government’s
Get Ready for Brexit campaign features a host of information and
events for businesses to help them prepare. We are hoping as many
companies which are exporting and based in the Marches will be able
to join us on October 18.
"DiT
will be giving advice on moving goods across borders, business travel
to the EU, providing services to EU clients and how to treat personal
data and businesses will also hear about the help on offer from the
Marches Growth Hub business support service."
The
Get Ready for Brexit workshop, from 11am to 3pm, will follow the Have
Your Say – Grow Our Economy breakfast event for businesses hosted
by the Marches LEP.
The
event will ask for business views on the region’s new Local
Industrial Strategy and also see the launch of the Marches LEP annual
report.
