Sandra Scannell, Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce Operations and Programmes director said: “Be it the UK, Republic of Ireland, Europe or further afield, Northern Ireland Chamber has connections which can facilitate links to other Chambers of Commerce and, indirectly, their member organisations. “Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce is a member of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), as well as an accredited member of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) and therefore not only has a voice in influencing international policy but also has links to the World Chambers Federation, World Chambers Network, Eurochambres and the Council of British Chambers in Europe”. “We would encourage companies looking to grow their business in new markets to contact the Chamber of Commerce and use our links to get a foothold. From general contacts to detailed market research, we have the connections to facilitate your growth and all through recognised institutions”.
