High on the government’s industry growth strategy is inviting overseas investment into the UK. Freeports are one incentive available – but how exactly do they work?
In the latest episode of our Business But Better podcast, host and international trade specialist Richard Baigent is joined by Amy Lambert, Head of Freeports and Investment Zones at the Department of Business and Trade, and Irwin Mitchell planning expert Pamela Chesterman. They discuss what a freeport is, where they are, and how to use them effectively.
