WC exporters are invited to enter the Exporter of the Year Competition

We spoke to George Ohle - From Absa about the 2013 Absa-Cape Chamber of Commerce Western Cape Exporter of the Year Competition. All Western Cape based businesses who manufacture, export or provide services to exporters are invited to enter the Absa-Cape Chamber of Commerce Western Cape Exporter of the Year Competition.This year will see a special emphasis on trade with Africa at the 23^rd annual Exporter of the Year competition which is run by the Cape Chamber of Commerce and Industry and sponsored by ABSA. The competition aims to promote exports and to recognise the achievements of local exporters who often succeeded in the face of tough global competition. The competition is introducing a new award for exports to Africa this year because there are so many opportunities in the resource-rich countries to the north and they want to encourage local companies to take advantage of the opportunities. Entries close on the 2^nd of August and the finalists will be chosen by August 20^th. The names of the winners will be announced at a gala banquet in Cape Town in October 2013.
