On Tuesday 28th February, over 35 delegates joined us to learn about business opportunities in Saudi Arabia at Holiday Inn Norwich. The venue provided a spacious setting where delegates were able to network over tea & coffee, followed by 3 presentations from expert speakers discussing the key areas of trade in Saudi Arabia. Norfolk Chamber’s International Trade Manager, Julie Austin welcomed delegates to the event, introducing our first speaker Chris Innes-Hopkins, UK Executive Director, Saudi British Joint Business Council. Next up we had Eisa S Alothman, Managing Director, Project Facilitators & Services Company Ltd who covered cultural awareness for Saudi Arabia. Eisa gave an enlightening talk, reviewing the difference between gender culture. We then took a short break and treated delegates to tea and cake to help them process the information just received. The second half of the event resumed with a presentation from Phil Ball, Director of Trade Sales, Barclays Trade and Working Capital, Corporate Banking Origination. Phil covered the financial aspects to trading in Saudi Arabia. Our International Trade Manager Julie also gave a short presentation on how we can help your business to expand overseas.
