New exporters alert: a perfect networking opportunity

FFB’s International Networking Event – New Markets, New Sectors, will bring together new, potential and experienced exporters from all sectors to share experiences to enhance and develop their export businesses. Delegates will also have access to representatives from FFB’s International Network, who can advise them on how to begin or develop their exports to a particular market.

You will hear from successful exporters Farne Salmon and The Feel Good Drinks Co on how they have gone about developing their export markets, and have the opportunity to be introduced to exporters working in a range of markets and sectors. FFB operates a ‘’buddying’ system where newer companies are paired up with experienced mentors and steered towards people most likely to be of help.

Reliance Fresh, one of India’s leading retailers, will share interesting insights into this rapidly expanding market.  If you are not ready for the Indian market, rest assured that you will benefit from the other case studies, research updates,  networking opportunities and the advice of our in-market experts from our international network.

Here’s what last year’s delegates had to say:

“Thank you for a very useful event yesterday, some really useful guidance from the speakers, useful meetings with the FFB teams, and the chance to meet colleagues in a great venue!”

Nigel Gaunt, Export Sales Manager, Fiddes Payne International

 “Thank you for a really interesting day yesterday.  It was great to hear from the speakers and to meet so many other people from the industry.”

Charlotte Doble, International Development Manager, Innocent Drinks

“I appreciated the opportunity to meet such a wide variety of FFB staff and I also found the presentations very interesting.
I would definitely be keen to attend a similar event in the future and will recommend this to other colleagues as well.”

Henry Angus, Baxters Food Group
