The UK and Ireland share a strong trading relationship, with Ireland being one of the UK's largest trading partners.
In 2022, UK exports to Ireland were valued at £54.7 billion, while imports from Ireland totalled £29.1 billion, resulting in a trade surplus of £25.6 billion
Leah Quarmby, training manager at the GBCC, said: “The session scheduled for April has garnered significant interest.
“With the ongoing changes in shipping to Ireland and Northern Ireland, it became evident that customers require guidance on critical topics such as the GPSR, TSS, and The Windsor Framework Agreement.
“Addressing these subjects and more in a single, comprehensive session provides an excellent opportunity for those already trading with Ireland to strengthen their expertise, as well as for newcomers to gain invaluable insights, all in one convenient place.”
