Over the last few months, SITPRO's staff have been attending meetings around the UK to inform traders about the consultation on international trade regulations. Discussions at round table meetings and trade shows have identified a number of issues, which have been listed on the SITPRO website and are being investigated by the project team. We have also received contributions from many other companies, trade bodies and associations.
SITPRO is meeting with businesses at:
- Automated Customs and International Trade Association
- British Exporter Association (BExA)
- British International Freight Association
- British Retail Consortium
- Fresh Produce Consortium
- GLE oneLondon
- HMRC Business Advice Days in Margate, Maidstone and St Albans
- Intellect
- International Meat Traders Association
- Joint Customs Consultative Committee
- Multimodal 2009
- North East Chamber of Commerce
- Northern Ireland Exporters Association
- Scotch Whisky Association
- Seafish
- Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders
- UK Trade & Investment SE
- UKTI Survive and Thrive Business Breakfasts in Maidstone, Southampton, Oxford, Reading and Gatwick
- ... and many more individual companies across the UK
If you have not yet had the opportunity to meet with SITPRO or respond to the consultation there is still time. Over the next month we will also be going out and visiting companies to discuss their procedures and issues with them in greater depth. If you would like to arrange for SITPRO to visit you, please call Shondeep Banerji on 020 7215 8126 or email pbr@sitpro.org.uk.
