West Midlands firms have just over ten days left to sign up for a major international trade event to help them boost their business with Asia. 

Delegates at the event in Hinckley on Thursday 25 November will be able to gain invaluable advice from business leaders and top level UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) directors based at Embassies and High Commissions across Asia.

The UKTI and RBS Doing Business in Asia: Meet the Experts event brings together business and UKTI experts on China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam, to share their experiences and in-depth knowledge of the markets.

Doug Mahoney, UKTI International Trade Director for the West Midlands, said: "This event is a fantastic opportunity for companies to gain vital insights in how to export to these vibrant, growing markets.

"There are still places left and I would urge anyone interested to register now on the website www.businessinasia.co.uk to avoid disappointment.

"A quarter of attendees at similar events in 2009 have already increased business in Asia as a direct result of what they learnt or who they met, and a further 67 per cent are expecting to do so within the next three years."

The event, one of a series taking place across the UK, takes place at the Barcelo Hinckley Island Hotel, Watling Street, Hinckley, and costs £60 + VAT for online bookings using the code itaatf10.
