Chance to win overseas business

ROTHERHAM businesses are being given the chance to find out more about the opportunities to win new overseas business at a workshop organised by RiDO (Rotherham Investment & Development Office) this week.

The workshop, titled “Winning new overseas business through market research and customer service” will be held at Fusion Business Centre on Magna Way in Rotherham on Thursday, November 13 from 9.30am to 12.30pm, as part of Export Week.  

It is free for Rotherham-based companies to attend.

The workshop will be led by Simon Bedford, an expert advisor from UK Trade & Investment, who will provide information on how Rotherham businesses can identify and explore opportunities in international markets, with the aim of achieving international growth.  

He will look at where, when and how to access new markets, the importance of being customer-focused and he will also reveal some interesting global findings on customer service.
