A Membership Forum
To share practical and real world experience of exporting
Our membership includes some of the leading exporting and award winning businesses in the Sheffield City region, representing small companies through to multinationals from a variety of sectors. Our aim is to encourage and promote the benefits of international trade, to inform and assist in order to benefit the UK economy overall.
Our sponsors enable us to form strategic partnerships to provide added value and support to members by providing experts and access to expertise in particular sectors and topics.
We work closely with other International Business Support Organisations such as DIT, Trade Associations, Chambers of Commerce and Local Authorities.

Queen's Awards for Enterprise
The International Trade Forum has, for several years, provided 1-to-1 advice and support on the entry requirements and process for the Queen's Awards for Enterprise. Initially aimed developing more awards for our members for International Trade, we can now support in any of the categories.
Your Export Journey
Wherever you are on your export journey, you need a support network to point you in the right direction, help you avoid traps and dead-ends and get you talking to the right people.
We really appreciate all of your support and inspiration to apply for the Queen's Award for Enterprise: International Trade in the first place
This was much more than a trade mission, with real business meetings organised in advance with people who were relevant to what we needed.
