AaGlobal is poised to build on the success of a Chamber Expo presence described as its busiest event since moving to the area.

The company is following up on a number of leads with businesses attracted to the stand at this year’s Hull and Humber Chamber Expo. Kirk Akdemir, Chief Executive of AaGlobal, said the activity shows the progress which is being made by the event, and by his business.

Kirk said: “This was our fourth appearance at Chamber Expo after expanding AaGlobal from Worcester to Hull and it was our busiest event yet.

“An obvious highlight was the opportunity to meet the trade delegation from Indonesia. Bringing them here was a real coup for the Chamber. It will generate opportunities for businesses operating in a range of sectors and we will be offering our support to them.

“But we also received a lot of general enquiries from businesses in the Yorkshire and Humber area. It is still early days in terms of exploring those opportunities and assessing how we can progress, but the signs are promising.

“The level of enquiries is also evidence that businesses are becoming more interested in exploring international opportunities. That in itself is a sign of rising business confidence and is something which we are working to encourage.

“We always exhibit at Chamber Expo because it is very important to have a presence at such an important business event and you never know what sort of opportunities might come along.”
