During Jan Andrews visit to Tauranga yesterday, we managed to set up a meeting with local business leaders. Local representatives from Priority One, Tauranga Chamber of Commerce and NZTE attended.
It provided a forum to discuss the support that East of England International can provide to Tauranga-based businesses wishing to export to, or set-up an office in, the UK. It was a really positive meeting and follow-ups are assured.
UK Trade & Investment and NZTE have good close relations. This is a real help for the two-way trade that is so important to both countries.
What was very clear from Jan's presentation was that the UK provides a great landing place for NZ businesses wishing to engage with the wider European market. That now accounts for over 400 million consumers. More talks between EEI and Tauranga are guaranteed.
