This is our new blog, which will focus on language and culture, interpreting and translation.
As the official partner of the Hull & Humber Chamber of Commerce, part of the new World Trade Centre in Hull, this blog is part of a 'big conversation' in the Hull & Humber region about international trade. Launching the campaign in an e-mail to Chamber members a few weeks ago, we wrote:
"The objective of our partnership with the Chamber is to help business take a fresh, customer-led approach to international trade. We're brimming with ideas, but we'd also like your help.
"In your experience, what are the key 'success factors' for building strong and lasting relationships with overseas customers? And what are the 'pitfalls' to avoid?
"International trade has been a central part of this region's economy for centuries, and - collectively - we've built up a huge store of knowledge and expertise. So, at whatever level your involvement with international trade has been, we really would like to hear from you."
