The BBCC Expansion Bridge, in proud partnership with the Bulgarian Embassy in London, is delighted to announce a first-of-its-kind trade mission to two of the UK’s most dynamic economic hubs: Hull and Liverpool.
This specialised trade mission is meticulously designed to forge powerful new connections in the Transport, Logistics, Maritime, and Technology sectors.
Why Hull and Liverpool?
Hull and Liverpool stand as the historic and modern backbones of the UK’s trade infrastructure. As premier maritime gateways, these cities are not just transport hubs – they are thriving ecosystems of supply chain innovation, green logistics, and cutting-edge maritime technology.
By focusing on these strategic regions, this mission offers unparalleled access to key UK decision-makers, deep-water port infrastructures, and rapidly growing tech clusters that are reshaping global trade.
Is This Trade Mission For You?
We are looking for forward-thinking businesses ready to expand their horizons. This mission is an ideal fit if you are:
- A Transport & Logistics Provider looking to expand international networks and optimise supply chains.
- A Maritime Operator seeking strategic UK partnerships.
- A Technology Innovator offering smart solutions, automation, software, or green tech tailored for the logistics and maritime industries.
Our Driving Mission
At its core, this initiative aims to significantly enhance the bilateral connection between the UK and Bulgaria, streamlining and strengthening the stream of goods between our two nations. By bridging British and Bulgarian expertise, we can drive efficiency, foster innovation, and unlock new commercial corridors.
“The BBCC is deeply honored to collaborate with an exceptional line-up of regional partners in both Hull and Liverpool. We are incredibly excited to bring our business communities together to create lasting, impactful partnerships.” – Desislava Miteva, Executive Director of the British Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce
