BHETA’s marketing director, Steve Richardson, said, “In recent years, exporting and importing has become a much more complicated business for UK businesses, with members reporting delays and challenges following new arrangements since the UK left the EU. I’m delighted that BHETA can now offer members an easy-to-access service giving advice on the issues which can arise.”
