As we move toward the end of the transition period, the Chamber will be delivering a varied series of events "Are EU ready to trade? Preparing for 2021". This series will include practical courses around import and export, surgery style events and webinars focusing on specific areas of the transition to help best prepare our members for the future.

This special webinar launching this programme throughout the autumn, will focus on the current situation to try and shed some light on the nature and directions of the negotiations. The North East England Chamber of Commerce, as part of a worldwide network of Chambers, is able to bring you an exclusive and unique webinar series, in assoc. with the British Chamber of Commerce in the EU & Belgium.

Our webinar will be hosted by our CEO, James Ramsbotham CBE who will be joined by Daniel Dalton, a former MEP and now CEO, British Chamber of Commerce in the EU & Belgium.
