International Trade Club

Article Date: 05 November 2009

Export activities provide and secure many jobs in our economy. Exporting companies face tremendous challenges and must compete in increasingly competitive global markets to help their businesses grow. Once again, it is the International Trade Club's privilege to present this year's International Trade Awards.

The International Trade Awards recognise and promote the quality, diversity and ingenuity of successful, local exporters. The International Trade Club is extremely proud to be able to salute some of East Lancashire's most talented business people through these Awards.

Winning awards is an opportunity for outstanding businesses to come to the attention of the wider community and to new potential customers. Previous winners include: Sovereign Beverage, Metals UK and PMT Industries, to name but a few.
