As we step into September, our team has been busy pulling together a mix of updates, insights and news to help you stay ahead in international trade.
The highlight this month is the launch of our brand-new Trade Made Simple: Mastering Import & Export in a Day course. This one-day session is designed to give businesses the tools and confidence to navigate global trade – perfect for those who want a solid foundation or a quick refresher.
This month sees the release of several trade reports and analysis, proving that staying informed is more important than ever. Review the new Port of London Trade Q2 Report - which captures and presents key trading data showing activity through the UK’s biggest port, read London Stansted Airport's thoughts on the latest findings from The UK Trade Barometer, and discover the WTO findings on using AI in their 2025 World Trade Report.
Alongside this, review the September global FX outlook from Convera, which provides timely guidance on currency movements and what they might mean for your international transactions.
On the policy front, there are further developments in trade agreements to keep an eye on, with negotiations ongoing and opportunities emerging. We’ll continue to monitor these closely and keep you updated as new pathways open for businesses across the region.
Our team is here to help you make sense of these changes and what they mean in practice, whether you’re exporting, importing, or considering new markets.
Finally, we have some team news to share. Kate Palmer has moved on from the Chambers this month, and while we’ll certainly miss her enthusiasm and contribution, we wish her every success in her next adventure.
