TAYLOR of Harrogate has been chosen to host the next networking event in Leeds City Region’s We are International campaign.

On October 28 a range of exporting issues will be discussed at the afternoon event, which is expected to attract about 30 novice exporters from throughout Harrogate as well as members of the wider Leeds City Region export ambassador network, which also covers York.

The event, where an address will be made by Taylors of Harrogate International controller, Matthew Davies, an export ambassador in the We are International initiative is being organised by international trade specialist, Chamber International, which has an office in York, as the latest in a series of networking events providing practical support for new exporters as part of a Local Response Fund Capacity Building Project, a Skills Support for the Workforce Contract, managed by Leeds City College.

The Response Project benefits from £11.8 million from the European Social Fund made available through the Skills Funding Agency to finance training for working people and aims to help SMEs, with fewer than 250 staff, in the ten local authority areas within Leeds City Region invest in developing the skills of their workforce.
