Handmade in Britain launches interactive virtual craft fair


British craftspeople at a financial disadvantage, with many of them losing their livelihoods. This has negatively impacted the British craft sector which until now had seen a steady growth of 5%.

reasons for pursuing business in the Czech Republic, but also outlined key hints and tips for furthering successful commercial relationships. Krystof outlined the dynamics of the Czech market and the country’s role as a ‘gateway’ to business in East Germany, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary and Russia. Pointing out that it was the fastest growing economy in Eastern Europe, he also said
