With the current consultation on Freeports now open until 13 July 2020, we were delighted to be joined by James Dinsdale from HM Treasury to discuss the government’s Freeports policy in an exclusive webinar for WIG members.

Join us online for your opportunity to:

  • Understand what the proposed model would involve in terms of tariffs, customs arrangements and other benefits.
  • Learn what the economic benefits of establishing Freeports could be, in relation to boosting trade, supporting innovation and increasing UK productivity.
  • Discuss how Freeports could support the ‘levelling up’ agenda across the UK, through targeted investment and job creation.
