Conference to examine Brexit impact on trade compliance
To support UK businesses in in tailoring global trade compliance programmes following the Brexit vote, AEB and CILT are inviting industry professionals to their 7th Annual Compliance Conference.
Titled Brexit – global trade compliance and export controls in dynamic markets, the event features experts from government bodies, professional associations, consultancies, and various industry sectors. Delegates can register online at www.aeb.com/uk/events.
With Brexit on the way to becoming reality, it is clear that things are rather unclear at the moment. Only once the UK invokes Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty can official negotiations about future trade agreements between the UK and both EU and non-EU countries commence. At this point, it is not foreseeable which final, future economic model will be the basis for UK trade.
Uncertainty leads to hesitation and while it may be tempting to sit back and wait, there is actually quite a lot that internationally trading companies in the UK can (and should) do now to minimise any potential impact of upcoming changes on their operations.
The following speakers have been confirmed:
- Bernadette Peers, Compliance Manager, Strategic Shipping Company Ltd
- Pablo Lecour, Partner Risk Advisory and Global Export Controls, Deloitte LLP
- Clive Corris, Commercial Director, Kelvin Hughes Ltd
- Jane Sewell , International Trade Development Liaison Officer, HMRC
- Adrian Bond, Business Awareness Training Manager, UK Export Control Organisation
- Hannah Beckett, Sales Manager, AEB (International)
The 7th Annual Compliance Conference takes place on Tuesday, 11th October 2016 from 9.00 am until 4.15pm at the Mallory Court Hotel in Leamington Spa. Online registration is now open at www.aeb.com/uk/events. Bookings can also be made via CILT(UK) – call Membership Services on 01536 740104 or email [email protected] citing event code COR0329.
