Poppy and Jacqueline completed a series of BCC-accredited courses, which meet rigorous national standards. The Foundation Award, equivalent to an NVQ Level 2 qualification, highlights their dedication to developing the essential skills needed to trade successfully on a global scale.

West Cheshire & North Wales Chamber of Commerce’s International Trade Manager, Hayley Gray, and International Trade expert & Chamber Board member, Becky Stark, recently visited CF Fertilisers to present Poppy and Jacqueline with their foundation award certificates.

Speaking about the duo’s achievement, Hayley commented:

“I am delighted to congratulate both Poppy Conboy and Jacqueline Hopewell on receiving their British Chambers of Commerce Foundation award in International Trade. This achievement not only supports their own individual career development but also strengthens CF Fertilisers UK Ltd with qualified expertise in International Trade. A huge well done to both of you.”

Hayley continued:

“If you, a colleague or anybody you know would benefit from attending any of our courses, then please contact me via internationaltrade@wcnwchamber. org.uk.”

WCNW Chamber CEO, Sarah Bailey, added:

“It is fantastic to see more local businesses and business professionals committing to the achievement of this foundation award, adding to a growing list of local professionals within the International Trade sector who have achieved this well-earned qualification. Seeing our training courses make a positive difference to a company is always rewarding, as we continue our aim to support the many amazing businesses across our region. Congratulations to both Poppy and Jacqueline!"
