Warwickshire businesses looking to expand into exporting can gain valuable insights from a two-part workshop next month.
The workshop, delivered by the Department for International Trade's Export Academy, is designed for businesses that are new to export to give them an introduction to what is involved and help them with their strategy. It should help any company looking to kick start their export journey.
