UK-Spanish trading relations to be discussed at webinar

Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce (GBCC) is hosting an event this week to advise businesses on the current trading situation between the UK and Spain.

The online webinar in collaboration with the British Chamber of Commerce in Spain (BCCI) as the latest in a series of 'Trading with EU Partners ' events sponsored by the West Midlands Combined Authority.

Spain is the UK 's eighth largest trading partner and total trade in goods and services between the two countries stood at £35.7bn last year.

The event on Wednesday 21 July will provide an overview of the key legal changes that businesses need to be aware of when trading with Spain following the end of the Brexit transition period.

It will also explore the opportunities for UK businesses looking to expand into the Spanish market.

The event is free to all members and non-members.

Stefanie Bowes (pictured), international business manager at the Chamber, said: “We are delighted to be hosting this webinar in partnership with the British Chamber of Commerce in Spain.

“Spain is the fourth largest economy in the EU and remains an important trading partner for the UK.

“This webinar is a fantastic opportunity for UK firms to find out more about what is required to break in to the Spanish market.

“Our guest speaker will also be able to provide advice and guidance for firms on how they can navigate the new post-Brexit trading arrangements as they look to trade with Spain. ”

This event is sponsored by the West Midlands Combined Authority.
