Northern Ireland construction delegation wins success in Polish market
Posted by: | Comments
Handel Export led a delegation of 14 Northern Irish construction companies to Poland from 18th – 22nd January along with its partner, the Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce (NICC). The trade visit was the 6th such project undertaken by Handel Export and NICC in the last few years. Poland remains an attractive market for Northern Irish companies, many of whom have significant numbers of Polish staff at all levels of their organisations. Feedback on the visit and perceptions of opportunities in the Polish market were very positive, with many of the companies already committed to carrying out follow up visits in the next few weeks and months. Participation in a group market visit such as this also enables the companies to exchange contacts and views on the market. The visit was organised to coincide with the BUDMA construction exhibition in Poznan, giving companies another opportunity to see what companies, products and innovations are currently trading in the Polish market.
