International Trade Club

Article Date: 26 September 2011

International Trade 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 and the UK economy remain strong. Importing companies help secure overseas supplies often for products that are not made or grown in the UK. 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 companies engaged in international trade. 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: Whitney Woods Ltd, ACDC Lighting Systems and Metflex Precision Mouldings Ltd , to name a few
