U.K. assists Ghanaian businesses with supplier contracts

In an effort to connect businesses in the West African nation of Ghana with British suppliers of health care, technology and creative products and services, the U.K. has launched a matching service businesses can use free of charge.

"This U.K. government service through our UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) Section within the High Commission will help companies in Ghana to develop their businesses through connecting them to world-class British supply chains," U.K. High Commissioner Jon Benjamin said. "The U.K. has a wealth of experience in health care, technology and the creative industries sectors and is open for business. Whatever your business needs, by registering for this world-leading service, the U.K. can answer your call."

Company representatives from Ghana can register for the service, which has contact information for more than 20,000 suppliers, at www.events.ukti.gov.uk/business-is-great-2016.

Those who register before April 1 will be entered to win admission to a four-day-sponsored business delegation to the International Festival of Business 2016 in Liverpool, England.
