China-UK Business Centre offers support for Lancashire firms

As it prepares for overseas trade visits to China in August and September, The China-UK Business Centre, based in Blackpool, is offering support to companies across the North West who want to find out more about the opportunities available to them.

CEO Barrie Thompson said:“This is definitely an exciting time for the North West as the initial interest we are receiving from China is extremely promising for the region. Back in March, the first trade agreement with the Chinese Province was signed and now, just 4 months later we are in the latter stages of agreeing manufacturing and licensing agreements for our region. We have been invited back to China later this month to discuss further initiatives and new product lines with this company for launch in mid-2017.

“To make the most of our business trips to China in August and September we are inviting local companies to contact us with their enquiries or requirements so we can investigate further and report back later upon our return to local government. We are of course happy to sign non-disclosure agreements and MOU’s with any company wanting to dip their toe in the water with China. We base our business and personal values on transparency, confidentiality, honesty and trust.
