Greater Manchester Chamber is hosting the North West Heathrow Business Summit in partnership with Heathrow.
The Heathrow Business Summit is a unique opportunity for SMEs to connect and trade face to face with Heathrow’s supply chain and connect to growth opportunities locally, nationally and internationally. Heathrow is committed to using its position as a national asset for the benefit of SMEs. As the UK’s hub airport, Heathrow connects businesses up and down the UK to crucial growth markets around the world.
Throughout 2018, as well as in Manchester, Heathrow will host a series of Heathrow Business Summits across the UK. These events provide a unique opportunity for SMEs to connect and trade face to face with other SMEs, Heathrow’s supply chain and in partnership with the Department for International Trade, explore exporting opportunities.
The airport spends over £1.5bn annually with more than 1,200 suppliers from around the UK and there will be more work on the horizon with expansion. Construction of the new runway will be the UK’s largest infrastructure project and small and medium-sized businesses will be critical to delivering the £14bn investment.
