Enterprise Europe Scotland, whose services are provided in the Highlands and Islands by Highlands and Islands Enterprise and Highland Opportunity Ltd, are hosting the Routes to European Markets seminar in an effort to develop further potentially lucrative trading links with our European neighbours.

Jill Fryer of Ledingham Chalmers LLP will discuss the legalities of partnering in Europe, while the local Enterprise Europe Scotland representatives will provide an overview of all the tools at their disposal to assist companies in sourcing agents, distributors, collaborative partners and the business information required to find the best way into specific markets.

"European markets are potentially extremely lucrative for local businesses and they are right on our doorstep" said Fiona Paton, senior development manager with Enterprise Europe Scotland.

"This seminar aims to help businesses in Shetland recognise what markets would be best for them, as well as covering some of the legal issues involved. We want our businesses to get the most out of trading in Europe and I would urge any who are currently considering breaking into new European markets to come along and see if we can help."
