Across the week there will be a varied series of events all over the UK, aimed at businesses to either start their export journey or increase their international business. Ten events are being held in the North West, including one at Cartmel Racecourse.

The UKTI event on 10November at Cartmel Racecourse will explore the opportunities for companies to develop business in the Gulf States and will run from 10am till 2:30pm. For more information, contact: Nicola Davies on: 0161 237 4223 or email: events@uktinorthwest.co.uk.

Tim said: "Exporting can really open up opportunities to businesses and enable them to substantially increase their operations. These series of events are definitely something I would encourage local businesses to sign up to."
