Meet our International team managers!

As one of our largest departments, the International team helps all businesses to grow, develop and thrive. If you trade overseas or need export paperwork, document translation or advice on international shipping, then our team is here to help.

From left to right, we have Leah Quarmby (Training Manager), Amira Graham (Translations Business Manager), Amerdeep Mangat (Head of International programmes), Mandy Haque (International Director), Sian Timmins (International Partnerships Manager), David Harris (Head of International documentation) and Andy Hipgrave (International Logistics Support Manager).

International Director, Mandy Haque, will be leaving the Chamber in late November. The department would like to thank her for all of her support over the years and wish her the very best of luck in the future.

Congratulations Lesley!

Lesley Rowley from member company Stainless Steel Services has been a firm supporter of our Chamber Training courses this year.

She began her BCC accreditation with us in February 2023 and has now gained her Foundation Award in International Trade.

Lesley gained this fabulous achievement by sitting and passing seven modules of international trade training with us.

Not only has she jumped into our import and export courses, she has also completed our introduction and intermediate level Excel courses! Here’s what Lesley had to say:

I work for Stainless Steel Services Ltd. as Managing Director (Finance & Purchasing).

When I saw these importing and exporting courses in the Chamber newsletter I felt that it would be a good opportunity to refresh my knowledge and ensure we are fully up to date with compliance and procedure changes - important in the ever changing world of commerce.

The course notes were extremely informative and the trainers presented well - enabling attendees to share their issues and ask questions and learn from real experiences.

I would recommend the courses for your whole team. They are definitely worth the investment!

I thank Leah and her team for arranging these courses. It’s good to know that the Birmingham Chamber is there to support members and local businesses.

Save the date!
