Brexit Cross Border Trade Advisory Service
Boost has teamed up with the North & Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce and Lancaster & District Chamber of Commerce to run a funded service to help importers and exporters manage the changes in trading with Europe following our exit from the EU.
Delivered by the Chambers’ teams of international trade specialists, the advisory service includes workshops, training courses and 121s. The Chambers’ teams also offer a Brexit Audit, reviewing your systems and procedures, while providing recommendations to ensure you comply with the new rules.
To find out more about the service, call our Boost Relationship Management team on 0800 488 0057.
