  • Local partnership and co-operations

    Many Export Clubs enjoy excellent relationships with other business organisations. More than half of the present Club are ‘special interest’ sections of the  Local Chamber or LEC. A number Clubs have indicated an interest in closer links with the Institute of Export.

    Co-operation with other bodies:

    • Avoids duplication of effort and events
    • Provides a better focus of events
    • Minimises waste of organisations time
    • Gives a more professional appearance
    • Enhances opportunities for success
    • Improves the image and presence of all involved bodies


    REMEMBER

    1. Make an effort to co-operate
    2. Extend the hand of friendship and offer co-operation
    3. Practice and encourage open communication.
    4. BE POSITIVE

    LOOK TO THE FUTURE

    1. Approach the Universities, Colleges, Sixth-forms and Schools - they are tomorrow’s Exporters.
    2. Offer to support their ‘business’ teaching programmes, the are mentoring schemes for schools project business groups - take the Export Club message into these schemes.
