Dear Exporter,
Welcome to the Midlands World Trade Forum - the largest membership of companies with an interest in international trade in the UK!
As of today we have over 450 members from across the West Midlands, 98% of our membership being small to medium sized companies, all of whom have an active interest in International Trade, be it exporting their goods services out of the UK, or importing from overseas.
We regularly host events and networking opportunities around the region to raise awareness of business opportunities in emerging markets, new legislation and promote cross-learning by providing case studies from successful companies alongside the opportunity to network with fellow members.
The MWTF also lobbies to the UK Government on behalf of West Midlands Exporters. In 2004 alone we have submitted views on Government support for UK businesses, the rise in Interest rates and the expansion of Birmingham Airport. All of which are important to the continued growth of West Midlands SMEs.
The Midlands World Trade Forum has become the only business voice speaking solely only on behalf of International Trade for our region. This on it's own persists in raising the profile of the organisation to the benefit of businesses across the area.
Please feel free to browse around our brand new website which includes information on upcoming events, benefits of being an MWTF member and how to join.
Should you have any questions regarding the MWTF, please contact our Coordinator - Glenis Poletti on tel: 0121 607 1759 or email: g.poletti@mwtf.org.uk.
I hope you find our website useful and informative and I hope to see you at one of our members events in the future.
Yours faithfully
Peter Mathews CMG
MWTF President & Chairman
