26th June 2012: GFirst – Gloucestershire LEP and UKTI: Exporting for Growth event, Lloyds Banking Group in Gloucester.
50 businesses attended the Exporting for Growth event in Gloucester, kindly hosted by Lloyds Banking Group, with expert speakers from UKTI, Green Fuels in Stonehouse and Barclays Bank. With an emphasis on practical and financial support available for both new exporters, and those who already export, but keen to expand their reach or re-visit the strategies, the event was a great success.
