Advisors, and other support from the UKTI Northwest for companies in
Merseyside.
Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, who operates the Centre, has developed
a wide range of services with its global network of partners and contacts
and with its experience in supporting and promoting international trade
stretching back over 150 years. The new ERDF funded scheme and UKTI
service will enhance the portfolio of, and become integral parts of

profile collectively for businesses in the Liverpool City Regions.
