Synopsis

A lot of us carry out trade without knowing it, we work for businesses that produce goods and provide services. Some of you advise businesses on how to trade and others are starting their education and careers.

Drawing from up-to-date practices it also helps you belong to something; 30% of the proceeds of this book will be donated to causes that support trade as a source of good. Kevin Shakespeare has used his experience from the world of business, finance and education to present a 'jargon free' read with Hints, Tips and Summaries. You will also receive a personalised welcome from Kevin telling you more about what you will receive. This is truly a book for everyone, it's not just trade as we know it, it has inspiring details about companies and organisations who make a difference to the world around us.

Review

This book will be vital reading for anyone involved in trade, at all levels of business. It is a key source of reference to students undertaking the qualifications provided by the Institute of Export and International Trade.--Lesley Batchelor, Director General, Institute of Export and International Trade

This book extremely helpful to both new and experienced exporters has covered all the topics required to be a top exporter. The author deserves praise for his understanding of the subject and the capability of putting it into writing.--Bryan Treherne, MBE, UK Trade & Investment

Having attended workshops, with Kevin as my Tutor, and read his study material, I am pleased to endorse his book and the information that Kevin has produced as a valuable learning resource for students. This will prepare students well, across a range of qualifications and will be a key learning tool for moving forward within their careers.--Marion Murray, Student

ITS has been working with Kevin in a partnership capacity for a number of years. This book provides essential resources for students studying in a variety of different industry qualifications. What has been missing until now is a good book written in a manner that can be easily understood; this book covering current business practice is exactly what is needed.--John Edson, Senior Partner ITS

During my professional studies I have found Kevin Shakespeare to be of great assistance, with his knowledge of business and finance, and how this supports businesses when they trade overseas. The support has helped me increase my knowledge and I would recommend the written material and practical advice provided by Kevin.--Arlene Jones, Student
