Trade visits

We organise trade missions to countries around the world that give an insight into the potential commercial opportunities of trading abroad which our members always find hugely informative and great fun.

Our Contacts
The commercial sections of foreign embassies in London
Trade Partners
The commercial sections of British Embassies and consulates in the countries visited
Chambers of Commerce and other trade organisations in the countries visited

Purpose
For members who already export and or import goods and services, our aim is to introduce them to new markets.

For members not trading abroad, our aim is to help them explore their business potential by introducing them  to complementary businesses in the country being visited and to consular officials in that country.

Features
The visits normally last 3 to 4 days except in the case of long distance trips such as China and Brazil.
They usually depart from London on a Tuesday or Wednesday and return the following Saturday or Sunday.
Participants receive a briefing at the British Embassy/consulate in the city visited.
A reception is organised at the local chamber of commerce offices in the city. This reception is normally attended by local businesses interested in meeting our members.
We arrange one-to-one business appointments with complementary businesses.
Accommodation is normally arranged in 4 and 5 star hotels centrally situated.
Accommodation is normally on a room with breakfast basis. Other meals are arranged individually or with members’ clients.

Our Next Trade Visit
Looking ahead, we are arranging a vist to Uzbekistan and The Silk Road for the last week in March and first week in April next year.
