About us

International Trade – exporting and importing - has its own set of challenges and excitement.

UK Trade & investment (UKTI) in conjunction with Enterprise Europe (formerly European Information Centre), Portsmouth and Southampton Chambers of Commerce, have listened to your comments and decided to launch a Forum to enable us all to discuss trade related issues.

We have met many companies here along the South Coast, and you tell us that you enjoy talking to other exporters and importers. We therefore invite you to meet once a quarter and hear highly qualified individuals talk on topical and relevant issues.
