The school, named after mill owner Sir Titus Salt who built the nearby model village to house his workers in 1853, is located in Saltaire; a UNESCO designated World Heritage Site. As part of their A-level Business Studies preparation, the students heard from Peter Bainbridge, Export Advisor at Chamber International, on how exports represent 30% of the UK’s GDP; international trade supports 6.5 million UK jobs, and jobs linked to exporting pay above the national average. Peter said: “From Brexit to Russian sanctions and from new trade deals to the disruption to global supply chains, there has never been a more exciting and important time to pursue a career in international trade. Supporting over 3,500 UK exporters, from FTSE 100 companies to first-time SMEs, no two days are the same as an Export Advisor at Chamber International. Chamber International looks forward to continuing working with the next generation of international trade experts.” Chamber International helps hundreds of new and experienced exporters throughout the UK with a wide range of specialist services to make exporting easier and more cost effective.
