Building bridges in trade: highlights from International Trade Week’s launch event
Attending the launch of International Trade Week (ITW), hosted by the Department for Business and Trade at Santander UK ’s London office, was an inspiring experience.
The event, supported by Santander as the headline sponsor, brought together key figures in international trade.
I had the honour of meeting Gareth Thomas MP , Minister for Exports, and discussing our initiatives across Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa.
A special thanks to Georgina Metcalfe from the Department for Business and Trade for sharing valuable in-country resources that help businesses expand globally.
It was also a pleasure to reconnect with fellow Export Champion Bolaji Sofoluwe MBE , highlighting our shared goals.
ITW offers five days of impactful events, workshops, and webinars, providing UK businesses with essential tools for global trade.

“Settling in and thriving: a conversation with Simon Moore, Head of Sixth Form at LVS Ascot”
Mark: Simon, what can international students expect when they arrive at LVS Ascot ?
Simon Moore: “From the moment they step through the door, international students become part of a fantastic family here. Within a day, it’s hard to tell if they’ve been with us for 24 hours or 24 weeks—they settle in that quickly!”
Mark: What makes LVS Ascot’s environment so welcoming?
Simon: “We don’t have cliques. We have supportive, close-knit groups of friends, so students feel comfortable from day one. Our boarding facilities are purpose-built, first-class, and staffed by caring individuals who create a lasting community.”
Mark: And what about the academic experience?
Simon: “Educationally, it’s exceptional. Our curriculum is diverse, and students have access to a range of activities. Plus, being close to London and Heathrow makes LVS Ascot a prime location. I can’t wait to welcome new students soon!”
