Global Britain Trade Expo will bring together business leaders, Government and press from across across the world to network and do business.
These are difficult times for those of us who believe in the benefits of an open trading system. Britain no longer has access to the EU Single Market. The US - China (the world's leading trading power) relationship is continuing to evolve and if President Trump, if reelected, tariff warfare is considered likely.

This conference will look at what those opportunities are and how businesses can best access them. Join me for a strategic overview of the all of the above including the opportunity for Q&A.
