The opportunities and challenges provided by China will be the focus of a seminar to be held by the Timber Trade Federation (TTF) in London.

The day-long seminar is to cover the political, environmental and technical aspects of doing business with the country.

The event will take place on November 15, which is an alteration to the date previously mentioned in the federation’s E News bulletin. The venue is still to be confirmed.

Andy Roby, the TTF’s corporate social responsibility adviser is currently in China compiling information about how the UK trade can ensure legal supplies from well-managed sources.
