Three leading trade associations in the home improvement, garden and leisure and pet product sectors are coming together to host a joint conference on the future of international trade, post-Brexit.
The one-day event is set to take place 12 March at the Stratford Manor Hotel in Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire, ahead of the UK's departure from the EU.
The conference aims to shed some light on the latest intelligence to help UK companies navigate the best routes to international sales post-Brexit, featuring an array of top-level speakers.
Attendees will hear practical information and advice from leading experts on the changes and challenges of trading internationally after the UK leaves the EU. Case studies of success stories will also discuss flourishing exporters in the gardening and leisure, pet product and home enhancement industry sectors.
