Marc commented: "I am delighted to have been appointed to share my knowledge and experience with government at this significant moment, as the UK pursues an independent trade policy for the first time in over 40 years. As the UK enters into new free trade agreements with international partners across the globe, it is important for businesses across all sectors to identify the tangible opportunities that can accelerate their international sales growth."
