BOLTON North East MP Mark Logan has organised a series of exclusive events for businesses in his constituency in a bid to help them grow internationally.

As a founding member of the Parliamentary Export Programme, Mr Logan is eager to help businesses boost their international sales and take advantage of new trade agreements.

By participating in the upcoming webinars, businesses will receive free government advice on how to seize new opportunities abroad.

The MP wants to ensure that businesses take full advantage of the export opportunities available, and tap into the demand for British products.

In a three-part webinar, Mr Logan will partner with the Department for International Trade (DIT) to deliver updates on exporting products and services. A final in-person event is due to take place in Parliament at the end of the year.

Panellists include a local exporter, an International Trade Adviser and an Export Finance Manager. The panel will offer advice on how to grow your business internationally and how to take advantage of new trade agreements across the world.

Mr Logan said: “These webinars will give businesses in Bolton North East access to the information, advice and finance they need to expand internationally.

"Helping local businesses to recover from the pandemic is one of my top priorities, and these events will help boost local jobs by giving businesses the guidance they need to navigate through the practicalities of post-Brexit.

"Whether a business is new to exporting, has exported in the past or is a current exporter, participating in the programme will equip them with the support and tools they need to begin or continue their exporting journey.”
