Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome our latest cohort of ITOPS graduates to Sheffield Chamber and the International Trade Centre to celebrate their fantastic achievement.

Our graduates received their British Chambers of Commerce Foundation Certificate in International Trade alongside their ITOPS certificates, followed by a celebratory buffet lunch.

The certificates were presented by the Sheffield Chamber team, with congratulations also shared by Nick Patrick, Director of the International Trade Centre, who delivered an insightful presentation on the six key regulatory changes affecting UK importers and exporters.

A huge thank you to Transglobal Freight Management Services for their continued sponsorship of the Sheffield ITOPS programme over the past three years. Their ongoing support includes recognising the highest-scoring student in each cohort with a special award.
