The event, organised by the BPIF, the GPMU and UK Trade and Investment, will focus on export opportunities for British printers, in particular following the expansion of the European Union in May this year.

UKTI is collaborating with the BPIF and the GPMU to develop and promote business support available to printers who wish to invest or export overseas.

Laura Jackson, BPIF public affairs officer, said that many printers investing in eastern Europe were seeking advice from management consultants, even though subsidised support was available from UKTI.

"Our objective is to make people consider overseas opportunities and to be aware of the good quality and cost-efficient method of getting advice," she said.
