East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce has announced a new addition to its International Trade Club (ITC).

What More UK is a leading global brand specialising in plastic household items and metal bakeware.

The company, headquartered in Padiham, is the UK's largest manufacturer of plastic housewares and has a market presence in more than 75 countries.

The ITC, which meets five times per year, provides a platform for exporters and importers to share their experiences and knowledge of international trade matters.

Guest speakers provide insights into important aspects of international trade and current issues, making it an invaluable resource for businesses looking to expand their global reach.

Mandy Lockett, international business director at the chamber, said: "We are always delighted to welcome new members to the International Trade Club. 

"Each will bring their unique expertise and experience to the club and help us further our mission to support businesses in East Lancashire to trade internationally."

Sponsored by Forbes Solicitors and PM+M, and managed by the East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, the ITC is an integral learning environment and networking opportunity for member companies looking to explore global opportunities and all aspects of importing and exporting.

Formerly known as the East Lancs Export Club, the ITC is the oldest established international trade club in the country, with more than 120 members, and is managed by the International Business Team at East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce.
