LEP is to offer support and inspiration to companies with little or no previous exporting experience to help them explore international markets. Helping us ensure that businesses have access to the widest range of expertise are our partners who include Scottish Development International/ Scottish Enterprise, Glasgow City Council, North and South Lanarkshire Councils and Lanarkshire Enterprise Services. One of the most exciting building blocks of our LEP is the development of an Export Hub App, which will keep you up to date with all the support, advice, networking and training opportunities that are available through our partners and members on everything relating to international trade. Not only that, you can also upload comments, suggestions and videos relating to your own experiences, challenges and successes. Access to this new platform is by invite only at the moment, so if you would like to be involved, please get in touch – see details below.
