Yesterday, LBP hosted the LBP Connect - UK Export Breakfast with experts from UK Export Finance and The Department of Business and Trade.

LBP would like to thank Eschmann Technologies Ltd for kindly providing their wonderful 2nd floor facilities to enable this event on the park.  

Snack Shack in Marlborough Road catered this event to give attendees a bacon bap start to the day.

The session commenced with International Trade Adviser Kate Pinkerton, who provided a overview of the support services provided free of charge by the Department of Business and Trade.

Kate has kindly provided the links below to give a flavour of the free online services available to help businesses on their export journey: 

This was followed by Export Finance Manager Lisa Maddison-Brown, who gave examples of how UK Export Finance has supported businesses in Sussex and the type of help available.

It was great to see LBP Businesses and Sponsors networking at this event, meeting neighbours and exploring how we can all work together to benefit each other. 

 

Lisa and Kate are keen to hear from any businesses on that park with export questions or need help resolving an export issue. Sometimes getting the orders is the easy bit, scaling up and securing finance to enable delivery are the hard bits, either way Lisa and Kate are there to help so please feel free to pick up the phone:
