UK Trade & Investment regional International Trade Adviser -
Food and Drink, Shernel Stevenson, based at Herefordshire and
Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce, manages the International Trade
element of Advantage West Midlands' Food & Drink
Cluster.
She said: "The five markets share some common trends, notably
the rapid development of the food retail and food service sector,
rising disposable income among consumers and growing demand for
healthy, innovative, non-indigenous products.
"I would urge any food and drink company in the West Midlands
region interested in exporting to these countries to come along to
this unique event and meet key decision makers direct - as well as
finding out how UK Trade & Investment can help them develop
their international business."
