Seymour Taylor was among the sponsors of the second Bucks Business Panel meeting in November, with managing director Simon Turner sitting on the panel.

The event was also attended by both David Lidington MP and Steve Baker MP, who provided great insight to both the Government position on developing exporting as well as their own views. In addition, Angus Murray from UKTI and Alex Pratt of BBF also gave their views and opinions from the business community in Buckinghamshire and foreign markets. Other members were Alan Bottomley from HBSC and James Couzens from Parrot and Coales, which altogether made up a formidable panel.

The key points that arose throughout the discussion focused around the need to identify the right market to target, be this within the UK and Bucks, or in foreign markets.

The panel was a great success, with many of the senior business leaders from the region attending and plans are already being put in place for the event in 2013.
