International Trade: Overcoming the challenges

Event Review

Financing solutions and risk mitigation techniques, combatting fraud, and legal issues in trade were just some of the topics discussed.

Thank you to all delegates who kindly purchased raffle tickets, in aid of UNICEF.  The two fabulous prizes donated by Barclays were won by James Parsons of BlueCrest Capital Management who will enjoy a trip through the UK on the great Orient Express.  The second prize, a Fortnum & Mason hamper, was won by Ms. Mhaira Faraday of WS Atkins.  Congratulations!
