Despite the looming issues of Brexit, the UK continues to have a thriving business culture and recognises the need for short term business trips in the UK. Jacqueline Woodland an Immigration Consultant with over 18 years' experience in direct corporate/business immigration will provide vital information on how you can ensure your company is fully compliant – the do's and don'ts, what documents are required, the length of stay and the cost; and most importantly are you using the Business Visa route correctly?
"The International Trade Club allows us great value access to a wealth of expertise and contacts in the field of export. Sharing experiences with like-minded exporters and the staff at East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce is a great way to increase our knowledge base and actively promote our business in the local area as well as further afield."
